Voué à rouiller by Leroy se meurt
A powerful debut album by the French duo Leroy se meurt, Voué à rouiller is noisy and eclectic post punk that captures the cold dissatisfaction of wintertime. With angular synth riffs and steady, resonating percussion, the high energy coldwave instrumentation is paired with emotive shouting vocals to deliver the sound of frustrated EBM. Crisp electronics are balanced nicely with fuzzier analog elements, and even with its systematic and methodical structures, the project remains playful as it toes the line into groovy synthpop, a satisfying addition to the group’s sound. The project features a general sense of inspiration from mysticism, a theme that almost always pairs well with dark coldwave. Biblical themes adorn the jagged synths and carry into the project’s visual elements really beautifully. As you brave the cold outside, let Leroy se muert be your soundtrack.
