2015 was a great year for L’Avenir with the release of Étoiles on Cold Beats Records early in the year and closing out 2015 with the Engineer E.P. on Beläten. Now 2016 doesn’t look to be any different on the creative front. Recording sessions have already begun with plans for a new full length album to be released later in the year. In the meantime, I’ve posted an early mix of a brand new cut taken from the first round of recording sessions. Thanks to everyone for buying the records and for all the support. Stay tuned, more to come…

I’m very happy to announce the release of the Engineer E.P. via the Swedish Beläten label on September 30, 2015. This will be L’Avenir’s second release for Beläten and the follow up to the recent album Étolies for Cold Beats Records earlier this year. Engineer will clock in at 30 minutes and feature 6 new tracks recorded between April and August 2015. Orders are now being taken over at the Beläten web shop. You can also now listen to a preview stream of the EP in it’s entirety at their Soundcloud.

Tracks:
1. Rise & Fall
2. Louder Than Words
3. Close Your Eyes (Remix)
4. New Day
5. Phantom
6. Armco

What people are saying about “The Wait”:

“L’Avenir is the new name for the Synth Wave scene with his moody lyrics and heartfelt melodies. From start to finish L’Avenir has created dark and compelling tracks, works of eclipsed electronics with a remolded New Wave slant.”
– Igloo Magazine

“Sounds Fantastic!!”
– Sean McBride (Martial Canterel)

“A very fine and deep album. Upon first listen one of my favorite albums from last year by John Maus came to mind.”
– The Suicide of Western Culture

“An album that’s exquisitely sequenced, with opener “Umbra” setting the invitingly permafrost tone.”
– Baltimore City Paper
