JUSTICE HIT #1 AT ALTERNATIVE RADIO

JUSTICE HIT #1 AT ALTERNATIVE RADIO WITH “NEVERENDER (FEATURING TAME IMPALA)”  ACHIEVEMENT MARKS THEIR FIRST TIME TOPPING THE ALTERNATIVE CHART AND TAME IMPALA’S SECOND 

Justice press shot by André Chémétoff  French electronic standard-bearers Justice have just completed a slow and steady ascendancy to the #1 spot on the Alternative Radio chart with “Neverender (feat. Tame Impala),” marking their first time topping the chart on this format and Tame Impala’s second. The achievement follows hot on the heels of the song taking the honors for Best Dance/Electronic Recording at the Grammys (marking their third Grammy win and Tame Impala’s first), as well as their first dalliance with Billboard’s Hot 100 chart via their collaboration with The Weeknd, “Wake Me Up.” The news hits as the band kick off the next North American leg of the massive ongoing Justice: Live tour, with upcoming appearances at Bonnaroo, Kilby Block Party, Electric Forest, a sold-out show at the iconic Red Rock Amphitheatre, and more.

BRUIT ≤ share new track & video "Data". Album ‘The Age Of Ephemerality’ out April 25 on Pelagic.

BRUIT ≤ - Share new track & video "Data" - Album 'The Age of Ephemerality' out April 25th on Pelagic - European tour with Alcest announced

Photo credit: Arnaud Payen  “Everything that can be technically achieved will be. All possible combinations will be exhaustively tested.” - Dennis Gabor’s Law   BRUIT ≤ have shared a second look at their forthcoming album ‘The Age Of Ephemerality’, set for release on the 25th of April via Pelagic. As the ethics of major streaming services and social media outlets come to the fore, BRUIT ≤ prepare for the timely release of their colossal new album. A philosophical, poetic and political reflection on our insatiable fascination with technology, a dependence as reverential as it is increasingly alienating and exploitative, ‘The Age Of Ephemerality’ is a seismic collision of old and new, of sounds organic and electric, with the trailblazing four-piece capturing the resultant symphony in all its chaotic, confrontational glory.   Following previous single "Ephemeral", today BRUIT ≤ share the album's soaring second track, "Data", which takes ‘Ephemeral’s instrumental fury and reshapes it; cannibalising the grinding cacophony and spitting out a delirious, DnB-like dirge before this too implodes in a hail of scattered digital artefacts before a blissfully bittersweet piano motif plays us out; a haunting analogue of the track’s synthesised introduction. The band comment: "Data explores the problem of mass surveillance and globalised manipulation through the digitisation of everything. Driven by an urgent drum & bass beat, the track confronts electronic elements, electric guitar and cello, with a brass ensemble and bicentennial organ, diluting what is organic and what's not. Through this process, we tried to illustrate the confusion we feel every day when faced with fake news, AI generated content or targeted advertising... What's still social about our network? What's still organic about our relationship with the world?" Watch the video for "Data" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD-gV13OnE0 'The Age of Ephemerality' album links: https://orcd.co/bruit A cautionary sonic exploration of society’s deference to the algorithm; ‘The Age Of Ephemerality’ will not be available on major international streaming platforms. Much like the rest of the band’s discography, the album reinforces the collective’s staunch boycott of Spotify; a response to the platform’s consistently diminishing artist payout policies as well as billionaire CEO Daniel Ek’s recent investment in the arms trade. Written in the mountains and recorded in a church, the album is BRUIT ≤ experimenting with capturing the sound of physical space as if it were an instrument in its own right; as something that can never be artificially generated or digitally replicated.   Amplifying contemporary instruments, tools and tech in a building hundreds of years old; synths, drums, strings, an eight-strong electric guitar orchestra made up of friends and collaborators from the Toulouse scene (Slift, Plebian Grandstand, Mourir, Zelezna, Orme) and the original, 1864 church organ collide in an incendiary aural statement that spurns society’s reliance on technocratic tendencies in favour of celebrating togetherness, the power of community and the creative inspiration of the moment.   Afterwards, the band spent weeks between Toulouse’s Studio Capitole and their own Studio La Taniere, experimenting with an array of configurations and arrangements that push the idea of post-production to its limits. By layering contrasting compositional methods from different technological eras on top of a sprawling collection of sounds old and new, BRUIT ≤ deliver an astounding sonic choreography that forces the listener to confront the inequalities and injustices behind the casual convenience of the modern day music industries.   Just as BRUIT ≤ seek to expose how desperate things have become, ‘The Age of Ephemerality’ serves as a harrowing yet profound reminder that the only way to break algorithmic malaise and see real change is to resist, to do it ourselves.

IRON LUNG release powerful triptych singles/video "Purgatory Dust // Virus" - New album out April 18

On Adapting // Crawling, the first new album in 12 years from hardcore / DIY vets IRON LUNG (duo Jensen Ward and Jon Kortland) take head shots at mental health with specific emphasis on the exacting tolls the past five years have taken on humanity. The “song-infected-with-another-song” concept behind Adapting // Crawling’s centerpiece and triptych singles “Purgatory Dust” / “Virus” / “Purgatory Dust (Finale)” was one IRON LUNG had always wanted to try. “At its core, ‘Purgatory Dust’ is about people not taking any precautions during the pandemic, causing even more of a spread and way more of a stupid panic,” Jensen explains. “Then we introduce ‘Virus’ in the middle of the tune and let it wreak havoc for almost too long. When ‘Dust’ comes back it deals with the fallout from infection be it death or long term illness. That behavior really freaked me out during Covid, probably because I have studied the Polio epidemic a ton over the course of this band and people behaved pretty much exactly the same way back in the 50s. The echoes of it are staggering really. Same idiocy. Same willful ignorance and hostility toward reason. Human nature is insane. I am surprised our species has lived this long.”   

Listen / Watch / Playlist 
"Purgatory Dust" / "Virus" / "Purgatory Dust (Finale)”

From the beginning, Iron Lung have ethically / sonically approached the world: Do It Yourself, obscure, extreme, maladjusted and utterly free from the constraints of “music” or, more widely, rules in general. Each record has been written around a concept. 

Adapting // Crawling acts as a sliced cadaver with each song a newly peeled layer exposing the corrosive effects of deep depression, a failed healthcare system, heavy grief from multiple friends/family deaths, paranoia and distrust of government, meaningless existence and loss. So much loss. When time disappeared between 2020 and 2023, the loss of function, of relation, of drive, of everything was incalculable. Life goes on but we lose a little more each day. To help cope with that crushing reality, Iron Lung finally sat down and wrote about their pain. 

In order to not be consumed by it, they built a wall around themselves utilizing an “us versus them” modality in the lyrics. All of the band’s points of view are from the “we” stance and are funneled through their long established lens of antiquated medical procedures and devices. The only times that mode breaks is when quoting an outsider view before rejecting and destroying it. The power belongs to Iron Lung and by association, to the allied listener.

Adapting // Crawling arrives April 18 via the band’s own esteemed imprint, Iron Lung Records. In addition to the release and performances confirmed throughout 2025, Iron Lung celebrate the label’s 18th anniversary simultaneously with a three day fest - What We Like - which takes over Seattle April 18 - 20. The weekend includes 26 exceptional bands from all around the globe, most of them with releases in the Iron Lung Records fam, plus two films, an art show and local cuisine. The event takes over three venues - all shows, all ages. Tickets and more info are here. For a full list of live dates, see below.
