IMPURE WILHELMINA are premiering the full album stream for their new album Le Sanglot. The veteran post-hardcore band’s ninth album arrives as their most radical transformation yet. While they continue to lean heavier on alt. rock melodies, for the first time in their 30-year history, all song are sung in French.
Le Sanglot comes out tomorrow, Friday, May 22 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all 10 vibrant songs today by listening to the full album stream below.
Pre-order & pre-save
Conceived as the sonic equivalent of weeping, Le sanglot surveys a fractured world with surgical coldness, yet never forecloses on the possibility of grace. Impure Wilhelmina moves between crushing weight and melodic restraint, from the cathartic surge of opening track "Électricité noire" to the fragile radiance of closer "À jamais radieuse," with the French language sharpening both the imagery and the emotional register throughout. The album introduces the band’s new guitarist Edouard Nicod, whose arrangements broaden the band’s textural scope. It features a collaboration with French artist Mütterlein on "Train mort" the album’s most abrasive song.
Line-up:
Michael Schindl — Vocals, Guitar
Mario Togni — Drums
Sébastien Dutruel — Bass
Edouard Nicod — Guitar
Marion Leclercq (Mütterlein) — Guest Vocals on “Train mort”
