From the press release:
L’Avenir returns with Requiem, his fourth full-length album for Barcelona’s Cold Beats Records. Requiem finds L’Avenir visiting themes of alienation, postmodernity, and spiritualism while expanding the sonic palette far beyond his minimal synth beginnings. The music of L’Avenir has often been compared to 4AD-era Clan of Xymox or mid-period Depeche Mode. But while echoes of the former can be heard, L’Avenir brings a uniquely fresh perspective unheard in other bands of the genre. Requiem features eight new songs and is available on limited edition blood red vinyl and compact disc. The CD version features the full LP plus the bonus album L’Avenir – Live, recorded at various concerts across the U.S. in 2019.
– Red vinyl or CD edition w/ digital download
– Digital only
Requiem and Live are also available through all digital retailers, Spotify and other streaming platforms.
After numerous requests for physical reissues of out of print L’Avenir releases, I decided to create the imprint Soleil Noir to reissue these OOP titles with bonus material.
