RELEASE DATE
12/1/2017
It's almost trite to point out that
Intergalactic Lovers
have been on a journey, but -- in literally every sense -- they have. The Belgian band have travelled a long way, departing the dilapidated former factory building they use as a base to release two crisply superb albums and play shows in every corner of Europe and beyond. Their third album
Exhale
, however, raises the bar once more. It's the sound of a band resolutely coming into their own. Clipped indie-rock in the vein of
Interpol
,
The Cure
, or
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
, it's punchy and concise, yet also incredibly open. "Every album we've always moved up a step because as you're older you evolve and what happens in your world changes," explains
Lara Chedraoui
. "We're friends, we're family, and the farther you travel it inspires you to write different things as well." Recorded in two English studios -- The Chairworks in Leeds and Vale Studios in Worcestershire --
Exhale
was steered by Gil Norton (
Pixies
,
Foo Fighters
,
Patti Smith
) and mastered by
Ted Jensen
(
Florence & The Machine
,
Arcade Fire
,
Muse
). "I was pretty intimidated at first," Lara explains. "Gil works with so many bands and we were this little band from Flanders trying to prove to him that we're even bigger than any name he's ever worked with." "The studio is one of the most confrontational places to be because you can hear every note and that can make you insecure in a way," Lara reveals. "We wanted more from this record." And they've certainly succeeded.
Exhale
sounds like
PJ Harvey
at her most seductive,
Feist
at her most barbed. "Talk! Talk!" feels like
Blondie
's cynical cousin, "Ego Wars" is a rousing depiction of a faltering relationship, while "Fears" is an anthem that feels almost tailor-made for arenas. "Between The Lines" is a fantastic example of what to expect: barbed songwriting with a personal touch, it's everything Intergalactic Lovers have promised to do, condensed into three minutes of biting, emphatic, coruscating music. "It's what goes on in my head and it has to come out," explains singer Lara Chedraoui. "It's that or I beat up people. So I decided I'm going to write songs -- it's cathartic because it helps me get rid of anger or sorrow." Comes in four-panel digipak; Includes fold-out poster.
