Samba De La Muerte - Ornament (Deluxe Edition) (2024)

Samba De La Muerte returns with a cocktail of psychedelic pop and electric groove folktronica. Samba de la Muerte has been carrying a creative heat worthy of those who wish to deliver a breath of freedom through their music for the last decade. It has been an intense and fruitful journey, and undoubtedly a way to mature and reflect on the creative process. It is a mature and thoughtful evolution, revealing Adrien Leprêtre's choice to gradually abandon the acoustic guitar, opting for keyboards and adding his voice on successive albums, an affirmation of a style that will see the first change in 2019 with the critically acclaimed album A Life with Large Opening. Here, the music is all spontaneous, delivering vibrant energy and generous live performances that never cease to impress. The references to post-punk and electronic that have shaped the band's aesthetic over the years are reinforced to unfold naturally and effectively. From the sophisticated pop of Talk Talk to the avant-garde of Talking Heads and the frenetic sonic experimentation of Radiohead, Samba de la Muerte are embracing this time of maturity.
