Le Grand Ouest 1978-1988

There’s a kind of spectral beauty to Le Grand Ouest, a collection of forgotten and half-imagined transmissions from Western France’s indie underground from the decade following 1978, where the echoes of American rock radio commingle with the murmurs of local folklore. Pieced together from long-lost demos and bunker-born sessions, it captures a fleeting, quietly defiant moment—bands making music not for an industry, but for each other.
