Brazilian's post-punk/darkwave/synth-pop trio The Lautreamonts are already known for being in constant mutation. After exploring more obscure sides, electronic music and even bossa nova on their last releases, the band now embraces the guitar energy on the brand-new single "Photophobic Sunflower".
The song speaks about avoiding the very things that make you bloom. It's a tribute to the complexity of human sensibility, a celebration of those who have the courage to be authentic, even when that means exposing their vulnerabilities. Common in the band's work, the eastern references are still there, now represented by the Gamelan, a traditional instrument from Southeast Asia. However, the guitars and the pulsating rhythm drive "Photophobic Sunflower". A delicate and melancholic tone complements the single that will bring joy for the fans of the indie rock and shoegaze scene from the 90s.
Going on since 2018, The Lautreamonts differentiate themselves not only by originality and sophistication of their songs and recordings but also by the multimedia experience of their live concerts, which brings a light show, video and an energetic performance to the audience. In 2019, the band embarked on an 11-show tour in Europe. After the forced pandemic break in 2020 and 2021, The Lautreamonts has played extensively in Brazil, including a show at the Woodgothic festival, the most important of the genre in Brazil. The single is released by Paranoia Musique Records in all digital platforms and is accompanied by a remix as a bonus. Give it a listen. Link
