Voltae (Chthulucene)

Melancholic. Intense. Deep. Epic. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is the sixth opus by FOUDRE!, a trio featuring Frédéric D. Oberland (OiseauxTempête), Romain Barbot (Saåad), and Paul Régimbeau (Mondkopf). A tribute to electricity and telluric forces, a complete celebration of life, “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” takes a twist resolutely post-techno. Emancipatory alloy of English rave, punk urgency, and electronica, with strange and electrifying echoes of ancient trad sounds. The album emerges as a powerful electronic masterpiece, consisting of 8 tracks whose narrative dimension evokes the score of a sci-fi movie, transporting us through the labyrinths of a neo-Lovecraftian vision, into a post-AKIRA world where human and non-human life could (re)become possible, where all forms of (sur)living beings could cohabit once again... With this first work recorded in studio, FOUDRE! unveils a hybrid and telepathic orchestra, composed of analog synthesizers and modular systems organically connected to acoustic instruments (baglama, winds, percussion, vocals), forming a kind of neural network twinkling at the heart of the night.
