BRUIT ≤ announce new album ‘The Age Of Ephemerality’
BRUIT ≤ have announced a new album!
Titled The Age Of Ephemerality, the upcoming album from the French post-rock band is the follow-up to 2021’s This Machine Is Burning And Now Everyone Knows It Could Happen, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Pelagic Records.
The upcoming album will not be available on major international streaming platforms. Much like the rest of the band’s discography, the album reinforces the collective’s staunch boycott of Spotify; a response to the platform’s consistently diminishing artist payout policies as well as billionaire CEO Daniel Ek’s recent investment in the arms trade. Written in the mountains and recorded in a church, the album is BRUIT ≤ experimenting with capturing the sound of physical space as if it were an instrument in its own right; as something that can never be artificially generated or digitally replicated.
The band utilised amplifying contemporary instruments, tools and tech in a building hundreds of years old; synths, drums, strings, an eight-strong electric guitar orchestra made up of friends and collaborators from the Toulouse scene [SLIFT, PLEBIAN GRANDSTAND, MOURIR, ZELEZNA, ORNE] and a original, 1864 church organ.
Afterwards, the band spent weeks between Toulouse’s Studio Capitole and their own Studio La Taniere, experimenting with an array of configurations and arrangements that push the idea of post-production to its limits.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Ephemereal.
