L'Effondras – Ethel / Macon Heights
Release: 31/10/25
Ce nouvel EP de L'Effondras est issu de morceaux rescapés des sessions d'Anabasis, enregistrés en 2019, abandonnés, repris, puis finalement mixés et remastérisés en 2024.
Et ces deux pièces qui n'avaient leur place nulle part, méritaient surtout d'exister seules.
"Ethel" ouvre avec une rareté chez L'Effondras : une voix assumée, en avant. Caverneuse, spectrale. Supportée par un ensemble sonore à la limite du Shoegaze qui pourrais faire penser à du Grivo dans les récentes sorties qui nous parlent de ce genre.
"Macon Heights" amène encore ailleurs. Nappes de guitare, lap-steel, mellotron, batterie qui flotte hors du temps. Le plus ambiant que le trio ait jamais osé. Un voyage introspectif tendu, presque malaisant, qui se referme sur le bois sec d'une guitare folk. Un morceau né d'un bidouillage collectif, une dérive qui assume son étrangeté.
Quelque part entre Earth, BIG|BRAVE, Emma Ruth Rundle et Slint. L'anti-post rock dans ce qu'il a de plus irréductible, et poétique.
(ENG)
These two tracks were salvaged from the Anabasis sessions. They were considered too strange for the first album and too dark for the second. They were recorded in 2019, then abandoned and revisited before finally being mixed and mastered in 2024. These are pieces that had no place anywhere, but which fully deserve to exist on their own.
'Ethel' opens with something unusual for L'Effondras: an unapologetic vocal performance. Cavernous and spectral. It is supported by a sonic ensemble bordering on shoegaze, which could bring to mind Grivo's recent releases that explore this genre.
'Macon Heights' takes you somewhere else entirely. It features guitar washes, lap steel, mellotron and drums that seem to exist outside of time. It is the most ambient piece the trio has ever dared to create. It is a tense, introspective journey that is almost unsettling and closes with the dry sound of a folk guitar. This track was born from collective experimentation, a drift that embraces its strangeness.
It sits somewhere between the sounds of Earth, BIG|BRAVE, Emma Ruth Rundle and Slint. Anti-post-rock at its most uncompromising and poetic.
