BRUIT Machine is Burning (Limited Coloured Vinyl)

Popis:

“With their stunning debut “The Machine Is Burning And Now Everyone Knows It Could Happen Again”, French art rockers Bruit have dropped an early contender for album of the year“, it was exclaimed when the album was digitally released on Bandcamp in April 2021, and Neige from Alcest found it; “The best post rock I heard in a really long time“. We couldn’t agree more, but it would curtail this album’s scope, grandeur and vision if it were contextualized solely within the post rock world. It certainly does fit in there, but Bruit are more than that; Bruit are a class of their own. Bruit was born from the desire of the members to escape the nauseating world of music big business and to return to a pure process of creation without artistic constraints or commercial expectations. Initially the band performed their creative research and sonic experiments solely in a studio setting, but time has shown that the ensemble's artistic vision could not be limited to the recording environment alone. In the world of Bruit, spontaneous experimentation, thoughtful composition and the aspect of performing in order to create are different but inevitably inseparable techniques of working on the same fabric: the black magic that is creating music. The physical release on cd-digi and vinyl of the French post rock/neoclassical quartet Bruit’s incredible album “The Machine Is Burning And Now Everyone Knows It Could Happen Again” is nicely timed to coincide with their appearance on the Roadburn Festival-2022-edition in Tilburg, The Netherlands. The social and environmentalist themes that this record is orbiting around are epitomized in aphoristic spoken word passages from the French geneticist Albert Jacquard and from the documentary “If A Tree Falls: A Story Of The Earth Liberation Front”. The emotive power of the album stems not from the topical use of quotes alone, but from the act of creating overwhelming post rock beauty through contrast between the loving charm and the brute noise; flowing from atmospheric post metal to free jazz, and from folktronica to neo-classical avantgarde improvisations. Their compositional finesse gives the record, despite its bleakness and its moments of immersive sadness, somehow always a glimmer of hope.
