Franklin playing in London

Franklin will play for a Rockfort night in London Sept 4TH at Windmill (Brixton) more infos to come

(For information "every now and then" will be available in Uk (distribution Schellschock) on the 26 th of June)

Franklin album is "Album Vedette " on iTunes France (album of the week) since Tueday 2th of June

"On the cover of "Every now and then" ,the superb first album of Franklin a sinous road appears,passing by a modern building before disappearing in a misty hill landscape.

A nice metaphor picturing Frank Rabeyrolles musical universe

The man hiding hiding behind this new project,after ' albums signed under Double U pseudonym.
With his natural simplicity and his pop melody science,Franklin draws melancolic musical landscapes,taking as much from Nick Drake ethereted Folk than Broadcast dreamy electronica.
Amazing mixture of Tradition and modernity, "Every now and then" is a fascinating piece wrapping us in a cosy and peaceful universe.
More than just an album,it is an unresistible travel invitation" (iTunes team)

Wool is very happy to announce a beautiful reissue /compilation album of Collage an incredible Estonian Band from the 70's for October 2009 .

The group "Collage" was found in 1966, it comprised students from Tallinn conservatory in Estonia grouped around Raivo Dikson. Why "Collage" ? that's precisely the band originality.They didn't want only to be a vocal jazz band or a folk band or a classical band. This approach 44 years later seems really modern. What's modern Pop today...? most of innovative bands today have this hybrid, crossover vision of music. For that reason Collage music is very impressive and instructive. Inspired by folk Estonian tradition and more precisely by the work of Swedish pianist and composer Jan Johansson , they were also full of Michel Legrand, Antonio Carlos Jobim music. Wool recordings already released in 2004 a EP of Collage music.

Today we're happy to present a larger selection of Collage work. We wanted to restitute the band poetry, his inalienable love for nature and freedom.Each song of Collage has his own secret meaning in the context of USSR domination, something between fragility and eternity. It's time to celebrate this radiant and sensitive band called Collage not only for Jazz addicts or Djs but also for fans of Stereolab , Belle and Sebastian .

We invite a Luther Russell a very interesting Us songwriter to do an Ep curated by Sarabeth Tucek in December .More infos very soon

Luther Russell was born into a music-making family whose contributions to songwriting reflect the history of American popular song as we know it. His great uncle Bud Green wrote early 20th century classics such as “Sentimental Journey” and “Once In A While”. His Grandfather Bob Russell wrote standards such as “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore”, "Do Nothin’ ‘Til You Hear From Me” and “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. Born in 1970, Luther was raised in a Los Angeles that people can only reminisce about: music from Stevie Wonder to E.L.O. blared from transistor radios and the post-hippie culture of the canyons dictated the mood and the feel of the day. At the ripe old age of 19 he formed the Freewheelers, a fiery, soulful combo influenced by Dylan, The Band and New Orleans R & B. They gained a legendary reputation around Holywood clubs and were promptly signed to Geffen for their first record. After extensive touring, the outfit signed to Rick Rubin’s legendary label Def American and released their second and final record. The “grunge” era was a tough time to make music with shades of Americana, so the ‘Wheelers called it quits. Luther relocated to Portland, Oregon where he soon earned a reputation for producing no-nonsense, rootsy rock and roll albums. Acclaimed northwest artists such as Fernando and Richmond Fontaine flocked to him for assistance. After releasing a series of eclectic solo records, all of which were critically well-received, he moved back to his native L.A. and recorded his fourth solo record “Repair”, produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ray La Montagne).

new Franklin Review in french Magazine Tsugi and Focus

2009-04-08T00:21:00.000-07:00

Chronique Tsugi Avril 2009

Tsugi; Franklin "every now and then" :

Franklin n'est pas la tortue vert nucleaire amie des enfants mais le Francais Franck Rabeyrolles,connu jusqu'a present sous le pseudonyme de Double u pour quelques albums de pop songs electroniques,fragiles et melancoliques.Empruntant cette nouvelle identité il ne se fait pas plus gai,mais delaisse les sonorités electroniques pour s'aventurer plus avant en terre folk pop planante.
"Big cities" "Lonesome" "guilty" plus l'album avance plus les chansons sont belles et envoutantes.
Bien plus que Boards of Canada,Franck Rabeyrolles semble aujourd'hui puiser son inspiration du côté des groupes folk psychedeliques des années 60 notamment The Byrds,deprimés,auteur d'un dernier chef d'oeuvre,"The notorious Byrd brothers".Grands espaces,grandes emotions,petites maladresses,tout en douceur souhaitons a Franklin de trouver son public .
Alexis Bernier

Focusmagazine: Franklin : every now and then
Side project de Double u Franklin est moins electronica,plus folk mais toujours aussi onirique et gracieux.Franck Rabeyrolles reste dans l'underground de velours mais a su donner de la texture a son propos. La voix de sa compagne Camille Vachin se pose avec delicatesse sur certains morceaux comme "Song for Tara" evoquant Vanessa Daou ou ursula Rucker.A A pprecier en duo en live a Parisle 24 Avrila la Fleche d'or ou au Baloard le 4mai a Montpellier en tournée dans le sillage de Sarabeth Tucek chanteuse de folk chez Smog et Brian Jonestown Massacre

FRANKLIN IN TRAX MAGAZINE ...NICE REVIEW

2008-12-12T04:33:00.000-08:00

"Dans le tout venant des maxis electro se glissent parfois de petits oiseaux fragiles,pas encore epanouis mais meritant de murir a l'ecart du bruit mediathique.C'est le cas de ce trois titres composés par Franck rabeyrolles,auteur d'albums sur Karat,ou Sonar kollektiv sous le pseudo de Double u qui marie les machines avec une folk pop fragile.Des ombres d'electronica delicate irisent ses morceaux et rappellent tour a tour Broadcast,The Notwist ou Shneider tm.Un album a venir au printemps 2009" MA

"Derriere Franklin se cache Double u,qui s'eloigne de l'electronica pour laisser libre cours a ses aspirations folk et psyché a travers trois titres plein de charme,fragiles et melancoliques.Album au printemps.

A suivre

FRANKLIN 7 INCH IN LODOWN MAGAZINE ...

2008-12-01T07:04:00.000-08:00

We are happy to announce a nice review in the Lodown magazine (Art,fashion ,music magazine)of December.here we are

FRANKLIN : lost house : Wool Recordings
Far from being all about the Benjamins, this new Franklin is actually a side project by Frank Rabeyrolles aka Double U. His "Lost House" used to be a beautiful Beach House retreat kind of thing, and now that it's lost, it's packed with psychedelic ghosts from a time full of vintage echoes and sweet melodies you'll discover in the dirty corners of forgotten rooms, and I'm sure you'll find the keys under the door mat. Step right in. 9/10

Franklin playlisted by Radio Neo....

FRANKLIN:new review inthe french magazine "Les inrockuptibles"

2008-11-03T04:30:00.000-08:00

We're happy to collect some nice feedback from LES INROCKUPTIBLES

"Quand la moitié deDouble u.Excellent groupe de post pop electronique originaire de Montpellier,part en solo la logique voudrait qu'il s'appelle U.Mais la logique n'a heureusement rien a faire dans cette musique trop reveuse et fuyante pour deposer le moindre plan de vol.C'est donc sous le nom de Franklin qu'il caresse une pop onirique et paisiblement psychedelique,qui evoque aussi bien les Allemands Notwist que les Americains de The postal Service.Pour la petite histoire Double u n'est pas un groupe mais le laboratoire du seul Franck Rabeyrolles.Mais meme un homme solitaire,quand il est a ce point aux ordres d'une delicieuse schizophrenie entre lumieres pop et meandres experimentaux a parfois le droit de se separer.C'est donc sa face la plus pop et la plus raffinée,qu'il installe dans le jardin secret de son nouveau palais de bric et de broc,qu'il appelle "Lost house"....avec son jardin bio et sa vue sur le ciel.
(Jean Daniel Beauvallet)
