Pourquoi me Reveiller – “They took my bed outside” (Dying Giraffe Recordings)
Eclectic Indie Rock | Pourquoi me Reveiller is an interesting Dutch indie-rock band from Rotterdam and they are apparently trying to confuse us - a Dutch band with a French name and English lyrics. Their music can be labelled as eclectic rock because it features an array of different instruments and styles. This definitely adds a special and unique note to them.
Pourquoi me Reveiller was founded in 1998 and means "Why awaken" or in a broader sense "Why should I wake up". In 2005 they recorded their debut full length "They took my bed outside". Although the opener is called "bloody hours of nasty torture", recording the album must have been great fun because each song on their debut LP sounds completely different.
Besides the typical indie-setup (guitar, bass and drums), Pourquoi me Reveiller introduced piano, accordion, electronic sounds, samples and noise elements, that helped to create an eclectic indie-rock album, that ranges from experimental rock to acoustic pop. The Dutch septet is currently working on new songs, until those are put on an album, you can find "They took my bed outside" at Dying Giraffe Recordings.

I love various kinds of music and I am probably spending too much time in this strange musical sphere that people call the netlabelscene. I present a monthly radioshow on netaudio at Byte.fm and Hertz 87.9, run a webzine called metawelle.net and I am part of the netlabel aaahh-records. Read more articles written by ChristianGrasse.

Ok, should work for now. But you still, can't download the Album via Dying Giraffe. Something must be wrong with their Server it keeps saying "You don't have permission to access / on this server." The Album is CC (BY-NC-SA). I put it up on the Internet Archive, if Dying Giraffe is not coming back soon.

I downloaded it from the bands webpage, and I think this is a great release. I've listened to it 3 times in my car since downloading this afternoon.

Indeed Dying giraffe is down for a moment due to server migration, but we're certainly not dead yet! Everything should be fine within a few days.
In the meanwhile, you can download PMR's release here http://www.pourquoimereveiller.com/Pourquoi%20me%20reveiller.zip
Thanks for the lovely post and the lovely comments!
Cheers!
