Most know Michigan-based Thomas Meluch as a member of the Ghostly International crew. Now the 20-year old producer wants to acquaint you with a different side of himself as he releases Precis, the full-length under his moniker Benoit Pioulard. Steeped in dark guitars chords and vocals, the album melds folk sensibilities with found sound and experimental, and shows off the multi-instrumentalist side of Meluch he’s been cultivating for years.

Precis is out October 16, 2006 on Kranky
