On their self‑titled 1973 LP, Batteaux turn baroque folk into ocean‑lit folk‑funk: lush West Coast arrangements, sky‑high harmonies and proto‑yacht grooves that feel as Balearic as they do Laurel Canyon, somehow both overlooked and timeless.
A notoriously jaw-dropping folk-funk classic, long treasured by the Balearic fraternity, the self-titled LP from the brothers Batteau nevertheless remains a criminally underheard gem. Appealing to fans stuck on Ned Doheny’s scorching blue-eyed soul as well as Gene Clark’s rich country-rock, it’s an honour to present the first officially licensed vinyl reissue of this undoubted masterpiece of proto-Yacht-Rock.
