NEW RELEASE: ASPHODELE

Asphodèle’s debut album ‘Jours Pâles’ is finally out!

3. Jours Pâles (feat. Wÿntër Ärvń)
4. Gueules Crasses

Romain, graphic designer from LADLO’s team: “It’s night. Or dark, at least. Maybe we are standing in broad daylight. I don’t know anymore. Maybe the sun manages to illuminate and enlighten this world. I don’t know. It appears I am still alive, for I am still having this feeling, of fear. Of anxiety. When the spleen is coming, in the most absolute suffering, I have never felt so alive. This, I know. The enemy can arise at any time, fooling my senses and pulling my mind’s strings. It is a time delay pain, throbbing, which would make it almost bearable. The world or the sky are not black, it is the veil of my very own bile. Melancholia. The origin of alienation, of disgust. Like an irrepressible desire to drift away, to wander, aimlessly, without any promise. Without any hope. Like a dazing need to exhaust this anguish by getting away. A primitive urge that leads me to run away from them, all of them, to try to find them again, one by one. Lying beneath the moist earth. And sinking. With them, with you. Sinking.”
