Les Disques Du Crepuscule

Les Disques Du Crepuscule is a renowned music label founded by Michel Duval and Annik Honoré, along with the famous illustrator Benoît Hennebert. The label officially started in August 1980 with the release of A Certain Ratio's Shack Up 7". Over the years, Les Disques Du Crepuscule has released nearly 400 titles on vinyl, cassette, and CD, covering a wide range of musical genres from pop to jazz, classical to experimental. They have also ventured into book publishing, video production, and fashion. With their unique presentation of artists and distinctive graphic design, Crépuscule stands out among independent record labels established in the late 70s and early 80s.

Crépuscule maintained strong connections with Factory Records in Manchester while also operating subsidiary labels in various countries including the UK (Operation Twilight and Operation Afterglow), the US (Crepuscule America), France (Crépuscule Section Française), and Japan (Crépuscule au Japon). In 1984, they even opened "Interferences," a cosmopolitan brasserie cum performance space in Brussels.

In the early 2000s, Les Disques du Crépuscule briefly relocated to Paris with a focus on soundtracks and the French domestic market. Michel Duval continued to oversee Crépuscule until 2006 when James Nice took over as

Virna Lindt is a Swedish singer and songwriter known for her unique blend of pop, new wave, and electronic music. With her captivating vocals and thought-provoking lyrics, she has captivated audiences around the world. Lindt's innovative sound and artistic vision have made her a trailblazer in the music industry.
Born in Stockholm, Lindt began her musical journey at a young age. Influenced by artists such as David Bowie and Kraftwerk, she developed her own distinctive style that defies genre boundaries. Her debut album "Shiver" gained critical acclaim and established her as an influential figure in the alternative music scene.
Throughout her career, Lindt has continued to push boundaries with her experimental soundscapes and introspective songwriting. Her ability to seamlessly fuse different musical elements sets her apart from other artists. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Lindt's passion for music shines through in every note.

Les Disques du Crepuscule present an extended double disc reissue of Shiver, the acclaimed debut album by seminal Swedish artist Virna Lindt, originally released by The Compact Organization in 1983. Written and produced by Virna Lindt and Tot Taylor, Shiver offers 12 slices of chic orchestrated pop informed by ‘foreign film’ soundtracks, movie composers John Barry and Ennio Morricone, Modernist musique concrete and Cold War spy thrillers. The album spawned three singles: Attention Stockholm, Intelligence and I Experienced Love. For the most part Lindt provides the voiceover for her own narratives, occasionally striking reflective poses amid orchestral swells and multi-layered atmospherics; a clear influence on later acts such as Pulp, St Etienne and Air. This new edition of Shiver showcases acoustically-enhanced mixes prepared by Taylor and Lindt in 1997, augmented with non-album singles Model Agent and Young and Hip, and immaculate instrumental versions of key album tracks such as Underwater Boy and The Dossier on Virna Lindt. The extended tracklist also finds room for a leftfield cover of Windmills of Your Mind, originally written by Michel Legrand and Alan and Marilyn Bergman for The Thomas Crown Affair and recorded for the Crepuscule compilation album Moving Soundtracks. Cover photography is by E.A. Janes.
