Music // Autre Ne Veut - ANXIETY


Above is the full album stream for the Autre Ne Veut's latest.

I suggest you start streaming it right, now.

This album is a compelling amalgamation of kitsch and shallow beats that haunt night clubs every where, the sparkling electronic details, guitar solos and soulful vocals of PRINCE with sacred tones created by a heavenly backing choir.

It’s metallic, ethereal and steeped in drama. The sounds shimmer, rebounding over Arthur Ashin’s deep copper vocals. Echoing choral voices are the back drop to delicate layers of strings and electronic hues. Stadium filling guitar solos & duos rise up, unleashing a palpable drama.

Tracks like ‘Don’t Ever Look Back’ show off alien electric tones, bubbles popping, reminiscent of the strange sounds of METRONOMY, whilst others like ‘Warning’ ache with despair and anger embodied by a leading guitar and Ashin’s paradoxical voice, both frail and explosive. The church organ in ‘Gonna Die’ is romantic and larger than life.

The resulting record is catchy, riveting and summons your emotions to palpitating attention.

There is a lot at stake here, what more could you want?

Here is a very simple look I styled inspired by the LP as a whole:
