Ethereal ambient washes.
French sibling duo UMAN’s 1992 album Chaleur Humaine is being reissued on vinyl, via RVNG’s Freedom To Spend imprint this September.
Prior to Chaleur Humaine, UMAN — aka Danielle and Didier Jean — worked on two pop albums, which were largely met with ambivalence by the French music industry.
Subsequently retreating into their own studio in Paris to record Chaleur Humaine, the duo instead produced a collection of ethereal soundscapes — ranging from ambient to mystic percussives and celestial vocals.
Chaleur Humaine follows RVNG’s release of Japanese artist Satomimagae’s Hanazono album — one of our favourite records of 2021 so far.
