La ville engloutie

Les Breastfeeders’ latest adventure takes place in La ville engloutie (The Sunken City). At times tinged with garage, psychedelic, post-sixties-punk, and psych-folk, each episode takes us into different rhythmic and stylistic universes, maintaining a narrative where each song from the album can become a neighborhood, a street, an alley, a door, a room, a person.

Lyricists Luc Brien and Johnny Maldoror tell us what we see, hear and experience there: a world turned upside-down by “Corsaires Satan”; love that stubbornly clings to whatever is left; our lives transformed by the wonder of words, elevated from personal experience to human adventure. To produce their first full-length album in 12 years (!!), Les Breastfeeders called on Ryan Battistuzzi (Nobro, Les Shirley, Sheenah Ko), a long-time friend and collaborator with whom the band recorded Les matins de grands soirs.
