<img src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/bureau_MED.jpg" align="left" width="150" height="150" />Hidden Shoal Recordings have announced the digital pre-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 <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/jumpel/">Jumpel</a>.

<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> 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.<img src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/galleries/Jumpel/lazy-k-thumbs/Jumpel_Close.jpg" align="right" width="133" height="100" />

<em>“Jumpel brings a wealth of musical and life experience to this meticulously crafted debut album… intimate despite its broad spectrum of instrumental colour and occasional cinematic ambiance”</em> <strong>– Textura on SJLOTB</strong>
