Stubbleman is the alter-ego of maverick composer and producer Pascal Gabriel. Initially known for landmark dance hits "Theme from S'Express" and "Beat Dis", he went on to work with a huge spectrum of artists including Dido, Kylie Minogue, Inspiral Carpets, Can, Bebel Gilberto, Miss Kittin, Wire, Ladyhawke and countless others. After many years in the wilderness of pop, Pascal has re-embraced his adventurous electronic ambient past with a project combining a lo-fi, cinematic mixture of found sounds, field recordings and modular synthesisers, often accompanied by live piano. Stubbleman’s panoramic debut album, the widely acclaimed 'Mountains and Plains', is inspired by a journey across the USA, during which Pascal recorded many sounds and ideas to be used as a basis for eleven tracks. These were further elaborated in his studio in southern France, and mixed in London with his old friend and accomplice Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, Tuxedomoon, Grizzly Bear). A true sonic road trip, the album evokes the poignant delights of endless train tracks, sleepless cities, nostalgic ruins, big skies, high deserts and lost junctions (which Pascal also captured in videos which illustrate his live shows), keeping at all times an affectionate eye for the humanity which populates these diverse landscapes. After a successful sold-out London debut at Southbank Centre's Purcell Room, more Live shows are planned for 2020. Check the reviews and news here: stubblemanmusic.com/press
