LUX the band - Super 8 (Deluxe) (2019)

"Super 8" (DELUXE) is the debut album from LUX (LUX the band) with an additional 2 bonus tracks for this reissue. 12 tracks recorded at Studio Black Box, France. Produced by Peter Deimel.Lux and Super 8: we could expect the soundtrack of our 60s. Error, the music of the duo is simply the heir to an underground New York rock with astonishing powers of seduction.

Luxury, calm and voluptuousness. Or more exactly Lux, class and authenticity. The formula shines a little less in the Pantheon of quotations, but fits just as well with the duo Angella Randall – Sylvain Laforge. In a resolutely underground atmosphere at the end of the 70's in New York, Lux likes to recall Television (without this guitar duo side) and more surely the Velvet Nico period (without this Andy Warhol side) and perhaps more surely the beginning of Fleetwood Mac . Because Lux remains affordable and flirts from time to time with a future general public. For the time being, "Super 8" is their first album after an EP released in 2014. An album on which the American singer drags her voice falsely nonchalant and really swaying on the compositions of the French guitarist. A Frenchy who rolled his bump for Rita Mitsouko and Catherine Ringer between 2006 and 2010. We are therefore not in the land of applicants. And you can hear it! Everything is concise, collected, in the vein of a Tom Petty or an Eliott Murphy. We feel good and we want to have a good time together. Lux's music brings souls together. In any case, she took these two to Studio Black Box in the Angevin countryside where Peter Deimel staged their music as he often does for the Kills, Anna Calvi, The Last Shadow Puppets, Black Minou (blues rock band irritated by the Poupaud brothers), Théo Lawrence and The Hearts, etc. Do not hesitate to take the plunge: Lux will make you travel for a long time without necessarily sparing your mount.
