In their new single, “Aceta,” chest. doesn’t keep anything close to their own. The track, the third release from their debut EP set for February 2025 via Howlin’ Bananas Records, carries a sound that will linger long after the lyrics fade. With introspective verses that speak of bleeding out, juxtaposed with themes of staying together, the message is clear: hold on tight. Whether to something fleeting or forever, there is catharsis in giving everything you have.
An Englishman, three sound engineers, and a pedal player comprise the Paris-based post-punk band, whose bond was forged through experimental decibels. Punchy and fast, “Aceta” falls next in line to their previous singles, “Self Sabotage” and “Going Clear,” all of which share a common thread: the simmering of unseen storms brewing just beneath the surface, much like the reactions they’re sure to provoke from live audiences. It intrinsically fits into the soundtrack of modern life’s undercurrents, a promise of unpredictable moments both in the studio and on stage.
