Muriel Laporte, also known as Niagara, is a French artist who emerged in the early 80s. While studying in Rennes, France, she crossed paths with José Tamarin and together they formed the band Niagara. In 1985, their first 12" record titled "Tchiki Boum" was released by Polydor. Despite guitarist José Tamarin leaving shortly after its release, Niagara went on to produce several hit songs before ultimately disbanding during a tour in Sweden in 1992.

Niagara's music can be described as a blend of pop and rock with catchy melodies and captivating lyrics. Their unique sound resonated with audiences across France and beyond. Throughout their career, Niagara gained recognition for their distinctive style and memorable performances.

Similar artists that share Niagara's musical style include Axel Bauer, Étienne Daho, Laurent Voulzy, Richard Gotainer, Alain Chamfort, Michel Berger, Jean-Pierre Mader, Les Innocents, Lio Marc Lavoine Stephan Eicher Alain Souchon Jean-Louis Aubert Thierry Hazard Jeanne Mas Les Rita Mitsouko William Sheller Véronique Sanson Eddy Mitchell Michel Polnareff

A compilation of tracks from out-of-print 12”s and rare CD-Rs from Lisbon-based trio Niagara. The tracks are united by a sense of live improvisation with electronic gear, even as they stylistically run a wide gamut, taking in mutant disco, raw acid, post- punk, lo-fi house, tropical ambient and unclassifiable experiments in sound.

Most closely associated with their home city’s Principe Discos label, Niagara have also self- released a number of homemade CD-Rs on their own Ascender imprint, and recently dropped ‘Veneza’, a collection of beatless excursions recorded at the 2017 Venice Biennale.

Parva Naturalia follows an album of brand-new ambient pieces, ‘Magna Moralia’, released as a limited edition cassette and digital edition on Disciples in December 2021.

140gram black vinyl in reverse board colour printed sleeve, with full colour 20-page A5 stapled booklet on 115gsm uncoated paper and digital download card.
