Les Breastfeeders announce their upcoming album La ville engloutie and unveil new single Vivre et exister

After releasing the irresistible Les pieds chez toi in the spring, Les Breastfeeders return today with Vivre et exister, a new single featuring Karine Roxane Isabel on lead vocals. The Montréal-based sextet also announces their long-awaited upcoming album, to be released on November 8th, 2024. Entitled La ville engloutie, this is the band's first album in 12 years and it is available for pre-order now.

Along a jerky arrangement where clashing instruments push and pull, topped by a labyrinthine lead guitar part, Vivre et exister muses about freedom. Freedom to not be who you are expected to be. Freedom to reject the role that is expected of you, whether socially, culturally or by force. The song unfolds with verve and panache, later being gently swept into the chorus’ soothing harmonies before starting all over again.

The video for Vivre et exister picks up where Les pieds chez toi's video ended, with the members of Les Breastfeeders being propelled into space. In this new creation by director Philippe Beauséjour, Les Breastfeeders are greeted on an unknown planet by new member Karine Roxane Isabel, who tells them about what has wiped out all forms of life. Buried under the sand, we can observe familiar objects that have been destroyed for a reason we have yet to discover, explains the director. Will the arrival of Les Breastfeeders breathe new life into the planet, or will they be trapped? Which world will the band be sucked into?

Les Breastfeeders’ latest adventure takes place in La ville engloutie (The Sunken City). At times tinged with garage, psychedelic, post-sixties-punk, and psych-folk, each episode takes us into different rhythmic and stylistic universes, maintaining a narrative where each song from the album can become a neighborhood, a street, an alley, a door, a room, a person.

Lyricists Luc Brien and Johnny Maldoror tell us what we see, hear and experience there: a world turned upside-down by “Corsaires Satan”; love that stubbornly clings to whatever is left; our lives transformed by the wonder of words, elevated from personal experience to human adventure. Come and visit La ville engloutie, wander through its various nooks and crannies, detours and dead-ends, where people are everything but the same.

After touring across Quebec this summer, Les Breastfeeders are pleased to announce new dates for 2024 and 2025. In addition to La ville engloutie’s album launch show, which will take place on November 23rd at the Fairmount Theatre as part of M for Montréal, the band will perform in the following cities next year: Shawinigan, Jonquière, Alma, Québec City and Lavaltrie.
