A few month ago, Montreal’s trio Le Couleur released the deluxe edition of their album Concorde, which features a bunch of new remixes and live versions. Also featured in the first version of the album, released back in 2020, “Oiseaux Sauvages” addresses mental illness through a very personal scope. The dreamy track was inspired by a friend of the band, who started suffering from schizophrenia as a teenager. “Oiseaux Sauvages” has now a stylish visual treatment, courtesy of director Ariel Poupart. Reminiscent of the American indie movie aesthetic, the enigmatic video is a pure moment of autumnal poetry.

Montreal trio Le Couleur are readying the release of their new album Concorde. After the sensual and spleen-loaded title track, they have now returned with another track, “Silencio,” whose electro-tropical textures arrive just on time. With the upcoming summer that is going to be particularly uncertain, these infectious, sun-kissed hooks are more than welcome.

Although the track sounds very light-hearted and joyful, it actually depicts a very Manichean jousting. “‘Silenzio’ is about the death that lurks and holds us in a duel, already lost,” they explained. “It deals with the rivalry between life and death. The latter being put into image by a betrayal, and ending with the kiss of death (il bacio della morte). She wins again and we witness her executions.”
