French-Swiss trio La Tène are releasing a new album next month, following last year’s debut Vouerca/Fahy. Entitled Tardive/Issime, the record arrives on September 8th through three:four and Les Disques Bongo Joe.
Sharing the same method of composition as their previous album, as the press release describes, Tardive/Issime “employs a decidedly richer timbral palette, combining long heavy descenting harmonium sweeps, relentless percussion, and the ever more precise patterns and drones of the hurdy-gurdy”.
The news comes paired with the first taste from the album, the transcending and exhilarating ‘La tardive’, and an accompanying video featuring incredible old climbing footage.
