Every year, we’ve got a special December release. Something kind and soothing, by tendency rather Pop than experiment (although this does not have to be contradiction, see [12rec.042] for instance).

A Collection Of Catchy Pop Tunes | Despite the fact that it is grey, rainy and coldish, Autumn is a season of maximum bliss. Right between Summer holidays and Christmas vacation, Autumn gives time to breathe deeply, sort things out, to come down. The odor of falling leaves is on the streets, mixing with the perfume of flavored tea and for the first time since long it feels good to stay home. Stay with your beloved, hopefully.

In concert with Simon Trottier, Nicolas Bernier provided one of the most astonishing, most beautiful, most adventurous 12rec.-releases. Probably many of you remember “Objet Abandonne En Mer” . The guys were quite active during the last year, working hard to bring “Objet” to stages around Montreal. But Bernier’s musical output is far more versatile. In close cooperation with his own Ekumen collective and No Type Netlabel, several records had been published before. Now, two new records are available for download and CD-purchase.
