Today, AXLAUSTADE, an instrumental grunge trio hailing from Montreal, share “ouverture,” another single off their forthcoming debut self-titled LP, AXLAUSTADE (due November 19 via La Tribu).
On the single, the band says:
“[It has a] monumental drum beat with a hypnotic bassline and a very raw and steady guitar riff. Not to mention the solid bongos breakdown. One of the first pieces we ever did. The jam was good and the tune came to us very quickly, almost identical to the recorded version… minus the bongos, voices, and Streets of Rage noises. It’s meant to be the story of a band who plays a very early gig in a daytime festival.
Everyone in the band is hitting the same nail in a different way. It really brings a lot of energy to the song. It makes you want to dance like you’re in trance or to play percussion with anything you could find in front of you. Haunting vocals and unexpected sounds really add a haunting vibe to the song.”
AXLAUSTADE’s debut record was recorded in Montreal by Éric Lamothe, mixed in Los Angeles by Justin Raisen (Kim Gordon, Viagra Boys, Charli XCX), and mastered in Los Angeles by Mike Bozzi (Grammy Award-winner for “This Is America,” Childish Gambino.)
