I put on a new album by a band I hadn’t heard before late last night, and now by half past 7 this morning I’ve already listened to it four times. The band are called Bruit, who are a four-piece from Toulouse. The album is called ‘The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again’. Couldn’t see any mention of the band on these boards before.
Would describe it as a bit of a mix of post-rock, at times more orchestral, with soundscape pieces and the odd almost math-rock-y beats thrown in. Probably doesn’t do them justice. Not all heavy, but when they go big it’s pretty colossal, so I think it fits here.
Listening, I recognise all the elements but they seem to bring it together in a way that’s somehow a little bit different to anything I’ve heard before. Really beautiful. Think I’m already slightly obsessed with it and would be interested to hear others thoughts.
Would really recommend listening to the whole album (never tried a bandcamp link before so not sure if or how this will work):
Also found this great video of a live recording of the album’s final 10-minute crescendo:
Enjoy!
