<img src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/bureau_MED.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the official CD release of <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=22&amp;products_id=98"><em>Deuxième Bureau</em></a>, the sophomore album by German minimal electro maestro Jumpel.

<em>Deuxième Bureau</em> is a further refinement of the Jumpel sound so wonderfully displayed on debut album <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=22&amp;products_id=45"><em>Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach</em></a>. Like perfectly fabricated ecosystems, each track is a luscious miniature environment complete with its own microclimate and prismatic inhabitants. The attention to detail in the music is consistently astonishing, rewarding close listening with a good pair of headphones. <em>Deuxième Bureau</em> is a fabric of intimate moments – some parts woven tightly, others open to the air – and an enticing invitation to explore Jumpel’s delicate and immersive ambient micro-pop.

<em>“The elegance of Deuxième Bureau is stunning… ambient music with heart and soul”</em> – <a href="http://www.lunakafe.com/moon152/de152.php" target="_blank">Luna Kafe</a>
