B.I.C.H.E.

Description

After more than three years in the studio, experimenting and reflecting on Biche’s sound identity, Alexis Fugain, Thomas Subiranin, Alexis Croisé, Brice Lenoble, and Florian Adrien have leveraged their individual experiences as performers, composers, and producers to return with a second album. This new work gradually breaks away from the ethereal, library-music style of *La Nuit des Perséides*, favoring a more urgent, at times more electronic sound. The frantic, intricate, and repetitive rhythmic patterns around which the guitar and synthesizer sounds articulate draw equally from 70s krautrock and 90s indie-pop. Still sung in French, the vocals assert themselves and become central, highlighting lyrics that often deal with the recurrence of things, continuing the themes found in *Discipline*, released in 2020.
