Montreal sextet Les Breastfeeders have announced their first album in 12 years, led by the new single "Vivre et exister."
La ville engloutie arrives November 8 via Bonsound. It's the long-awaited follow-up to 2011's Dans la gueule des jours, and features recent single "Les pieds chez toi."
With the album title translating to "The Sunken City," Les Breastfeeders are promising to take us on a journey through different stylistic universes — at times tinged with garage, psychedelic, post-'60s-punk and psych-folk — while maintaining a narrative "where each song from the album can become a neighbourhood, a street, an alley, a door, a room, a person," according to press notes.
Careening lead single "Vivre et exister" features new band member Karine Roxane Isabel on lead vocals. Watch the Philippe Beauséjour-directed video below, where you'll also find the album tracklist.
