Suun

by NLC

With a continuous stream of releases on attenuation circuit over the last few years, the French duo NLC, Julien ASH and Aloïs L., have built a veritable catalogue of goth pop within the more experimental roster of attenuation circuit – one that translates the spirit of experimentation and collaboration into the vocabulary of a sophisticated 'art pop' music whose creative eclecticism manages to integrate metal guitar riffs just as well as hip-hop beats.

“Suun” is a concept album, but the concept is mainly hinted at in titles and sparse lyrics, it is not being enforced on the listener. Instead, listeners are given the freedom of creating their own interior film based on the music. For the non-instrumental tracks, the lyrics were written by the the vocalists who also perform them, Jordane Prestrot and Liesbeth Houdijk, along with Pierre-Yves Lebeau. Other collaborators from NLC's network will be familiar to listeners who have heard NLC's previous releases on attenuation circuit. In addition to (bass) guitarist Wolf City and producer Grosso Gadgetto, both of which were featured on collaborative albums with NLC in the past, François Porte plays the flute on some tracks, supplementing a sound colour that is almost as characteristic of NLC's recent sound as Aloïs L.'s signature violin playing.
