Hubble announce self-titled debut album
HUBBLE have announced their debut album!
The upcoming album from the French progressive post-rock trio is a self-titled effort and is scheduled to be released in May this year.
Alongside the announcement of the album, the band have released a live session version of its lead single Voyage.
Speaking about the track, guitarist Thibault Gazengel explains, “Voyage was placed n°2 on the tracklist because it refers to the launch of the Apollo 11 mission, To The Moon being the exposition of the context. This track corresponds to the real departure to the Moon, which we wanted to express by deepening the sound design. The intro, for example, is reminiscent of a spaceship, with the phazer giving the impression of lift-off. In fact, there are fewer voice samples than in the other tracks. The most concrete element is probably the one at the end of the track, which we used during the credits on the live session. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins arrive in lunar orbit and this is the moment when the Eagle module detaches from the rocket, hence the famous “Eagle Has Wings”. Musically, it’s perhaps our least ambient piece, the most prog and the most complex, with a big structure that moves around a lot. It’s like a transposition of the uncertainty of the voyage, the different events and emotions for the astronauts. The emotions range from fear to admiration. A technical problem can happen very quickly in this situation, which can cause the emotional lift represented here.”
