French multi-instrumentalist Tom Penaguin (Djiin, Orgöne) reveal the first track “Long Piece No. 1” taken from upcoming album “Beginnings” due out on May 23, 2025 via áMARXE Records. Purchase and Stream the track on Bandcamp:
“This is not a “brand new” album; all the songs featured here were written and recorded between 2012 and 2020. The old ones were poorly recorded/mixed because I was still a teenager trying to learn how things work. There is no real planned continuity in here and everything was left as is, with just a bit of mastering to even things out.
So, what’s the point then?
Each of those tracks were, at their time, the best thing I could come up with; the opening tracks of albums that never were, like little seeds waiting to be watered into a full-fledged LP. These pieces were (and still are) important to me, but they are too far away for me to do something new with it, so it’s a kind of “now or never” situation. The sound quality makes it sound way older than it is, so please take it as an involuntary bootleg-ish archival album of moods and experiments I went through while growing up, hence the name: Beginnings.” – Tom Penaguin
