Finally, a band that lives up to its name. A deformed creature born from the depths of a late-night Parisian haze, half kamikaze, half blood drunk bat: MONT LOSER invites you to dive headfirst into the void of a rock scene that always seems to rise from its ashes, when we sometimes wish it would stay dead. Moving forward as if the outside world didn’t exist, the Parisian trio staggers away from the flocks of retro-flavoured, nostalgia-marketed bands with some sort of drunken grace.
Frenzied and paranoid, the band’s debut album, Confessional, recorded by Jacky Cadiou (Syndrome 81), is a true collection of riotous love songs: chaos within reach, the kind that makes you want to follow them straight into their own beautiful destruction. MONT LOSER’s debut album is set to arrive on April 17.
As we patiently await the arrival of MONT LOSER’s new LP, the band releases the hypnotic title track. “Confessional” is a stunning slice of alt-rock with shades of shoegaze, giving the single a plush feel that is quickly juxtaposed by blissfully piercing tones and warping melodies. This is an ever-evolving listening experience that journeys through different tempos and tones with poetic ease, never losing sight of the overall message behind “Confessional.” What starts as an unassuming guitar tune with cloud-like vocals quickly transitions into a chanting cacophony of innate chemistry and thudding percussion, only for the pace to slow to an inviting crawl. All the while, the vocals ground it in reality, delivering infectious melodies and heartfelt songwriting that linger in the room long after the song ends. MONT LOSER’s new album is already shaping up to be a landmark release for this refreshing band.
