BRUIT ≤ release their spectacular new album The Age Of Ephemerality via Pelagic. A philosophical, poetic and political reflection on our insatiable fascination with technology, a dependence as reverential as it is increasingly alienating and exploitative, The Age Of Ephemerality is a seismic collision of old and new, of sounds organic and electric, with the trailblazing four-piece capturing the resultant symphony in all its chaotic, confrontational glory.
Speaking on the album’s release, the band comment: “It is not a science-fiction album, it is about what’s happening right now, yesterday and tomorrow. But we hope that it will stay in your brain and in your heart a little bit longer. We love you.”
Along with the album release, the band have shared a new video of track “Progress/Regress”, recorded fully analogue, live in the studio, capturing the majesty of the band’s live show. The band comment: “Three weeks ago, we were back at “studio Capitol” to prepare our live set, and we took the opportunity to film a 100% analog live session. Recorded on tape and filmed on film, we only had one chance to realise this single long take. Like a tribute to the recordings of the past, imperfect and devoid of production artifice, where the organic performance is the only element. It seemed to us the ideal aesthetic and medium in which to question Progress or Regress?”
The video for “Progress/Regress” follows their recent video for “Data”, which we featured in a special spotlight.
Rising from the smoldering remains of various bands in 2016, BRUIT ≤ \ˈbrü-Ä“\ [French, literally, noise] assembled with the desire to escape the confines of the ‘big business’ music industries and return to creation as an artistic process unadulterated by commercial constraints or expectations.
