October 25th will see the release of FOUDRE!<\/a>‘s sixth album, Volt\u00e6 (Chthulucene)<\/em>, through Nahal Recordings<\/a> and ZamZam Rec<\/a>. The trio of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Temp\u00eate), Romain Barbot (Sa\u00e5ad), and Paul R\u00e9gimbeau (Mondkopf) crafted a wistful and powerful “tribute to electricity and telluric forces”, as the press release describes, “a complete celebration of life, a symbiosis for an epistemic shift.” On the new album, FOUDRE!’s sound takes a post-techno turn, blending English rave, punk urgency, and electronica with traditional sounds.<\/p>\n

Recorded in the studio for the first time, Volt\u00e6 (Chthulucene)<\/em> is an electronic feat produced by sound engineer Camille Jamain. The album’s richly layered and evocative 8 tracks lead us through soundscapes that explore themes of coexistence and renewal, painting a psychedelic futuristic vision “where hybrid characters of\u00a0 human \/ machine \/ vegetable could start to dance, mutate, and merge within everything around them.”<\/p>\n

The fierce and mesmeric\u00a0 ‘Visions from Z\u016br\u016btetsu’ is the first track to emerge from the album and you can listen to it below.<\/p>\n
