French outfit L\u2019\u00e9trangleuse<\/a>, who hail from Lyon, France, have a fourth album on the way. Originally a duo, founded by guitarist Ma\u00ebl Sal\u00e8tes and also featuring M\u00e9lanie Virot on vocals and harp, they’ve turned into a quartet with the addition of Anne Godefert on bass and L\u00e9o Dumont on drums. Their new album, Ambiance Argile<\/em>, sees them reinventing themselves and embracing a more experimental and innovative approach to their music whilst also keeping their signature sound, blending the harp and West African lute with tracks sung in French. Influenced by the likes of nomadic Dutch DIY punks The Ex and the Tuareg desert rock style, L\u2019\u00c9trangleuse also borrow from various influences, from postpunk and electric desert blues to krautrock and folk.<\/p>\n

Recorded live over two sessions in a studio in the foothills of the Vercors mountains, Ambiance Argile<\/em> captures the raw energy and chemistry of the quartet, marking a triumphant return for L\u2019\u00c9trangleuse and a new beginning for their music.\u00a0As with previous albums, Ma\u00ebl and M\u00e9lanie alternate as lead singers, with Ma\u00ebl also taking on the role of the group’s head lyricist.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the album’s release on June 7th through La Curieuse<\/a>, L\u2019\u00e9trangleuse have let loose the opening track ‘Le Rem\u00e8de’. Take a listen below.<\/p>\n
