{"product_id":"lysistrata_breathe-inout_2019_lad","title":"Breathe in\/out","description":"Two years after a bombastic debut album 'The Thread', Lysistrata releases 'Breathe In\/Out', a second long-form record that establishes the trio from Saintes as a key stronghold of a new indie-rock scene in France.With utterly disarming naturalness, two impressive albums and three very endearing personalities, Lysistrata have already built their edifice to dizzying heights. Walls of sound and vicious melodies, noise labyrinths and frontal emotion, you will emerge marked from their innocent claws; marked and happy. So breathe in, breathe out.FOR FANS OF: AT THE DRIVE-IN, REFUSED, BATTLES, FOALS, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, SONIC YOUTH.LYSISTRATA were the REVELATIONS of the TRANSMUSICALES 2016 \/ RICARD S.A. LIVE MUSIC PRIZE 2017 (out of 1186 CANDIDATES!!!!) \/ JURY PRIZE OF THE INOUÏS 2017 (PRINTEMPS DE BOURGES)Yet they had to find time to devote to these new songs, amidst a lavish tour that took Théo, Max and Ben to (almost) all corners of the world: over 180 concerts in France (and all its major festivals), Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Wales, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Canada! Lands diversely initiated to Lysistrata's exalted noise rock, but often enthused by their live mastery, which, let's recall, stands well above the average. A frantic pace indeed, but everything seems quite easy for these boys just over 20. Without calculation, without haste; with spontaneity, with passion.For the making of 'Breathe In\/Out', the technical setup of the first album was naturally carried over, from the Black Box studio for the setting to Michel Toledo for recording (still live and on tape) then mixing. But if the songs of The Thread had long lived on stage before finding their place on a record, here the path is reversed: the album is entirely composed from October 2018 to March 2019, the studio entry date. The three accomplices bring their riffs, open up other ensembles, revive unfinished pieces, assemble them like Legos, build the structures that will gradually give birth to the new tracks. The lyrics, which evoke love as much as madness, anxiety and education, fuse in a second stage and will often be chanted in unison.For 'Breathe In\/Out', everything goes faster, Théo, Max and Ben know better what they want and execute it effortlessly. The tracks are also shorter on average, more direct. The propositions become more extreme, in one direction (brutal) as in the other. Tepidness has no place here and we are thus thrown into the ropes (\"Death By Embarrassment\" and its tanker power, the slap \"Boot On a Thistle\") before experiencing a true moment of calm midway through on \"End Of the Line\", a sublime ballad where silences reveal natural reverb. Fans of more sinuous paths are obviously not spared (we are after all in the house of Lysistrata), for example on \"Different Creatures\", the champagne opening of the album; or on \"Mourn\", the epic first single unveiled in summer 2019, accompanied by its equally adventurous animated video, created by illustrator Margaux Chetteau. With utterly disarming naturalness, two impressive albums and three very endearing personalities, Lysistrata have already built their edifice to dizzying heights. Walls of sound and vicious melodies, noise labyrinths and frontal emotion, you will emerge marked from their innocent claws; marked and happy.
