Je T'aime : Useless Boy - CD
Ref: 24659
The best selling band on Icy Cold/Manic Depression returns with their eagerly expected, ALL NEW 4th studio album! Both the Vinyl and the CD are being released with 3 different covers each, featuring the 3 core members of the group on the individual sleeves: Edition 1: dBoy (programming, synths, bass, guitar & vocals) Edition 2: CrazyZ (guitar) Edition 3: Little Bastard (bass and guitar) CD limited to 300 copies for each cover JE T'AIME: for these few letters, some live, some go mad, but above all, many die. Live until you go mad, live until you die - that's the credo of the cold-wave trio whose spirited spleen sprang from the muggy basements of Parisian nightlife in 2018. While the classic post-punk and new wave influences are obviously there, the driving rain that falls on these three anti-heroes is tinged with the flashing colors of neon lights and their artificial heat. JE T'AIME stirs up your guts as much as your behinds, and blows the codes with a jubilant, touching snarl. After a self-titled debut album (2019, Manic Depression/Icy Cold), the band signed the diptych PASSIVE/AGGRESSIVE in 2022, choosing Valentine's Day and All Souls' Day to release both parts. In the few years of its existence, JE T'AIME has rocked audiences at Belgium's W-Fest, Poland's Castle Party, England's Infest Festival, Portugal's Extramuralhas and Germany's Wave Gotik Treffen... If Europe has to learn a few French words, it might as well be “JE T'AIME”. In 2024, JE T'AIME is six years old. Their new album, Useless Boy, is an expressionist cry, a sad party where the melancholic thrill is always hidden behind illusory comforts. More than ever, it's a flight into the future, a rejection of the dreary conventions of the real world. JE T'AIME locks itself away in its own intimate universe to avoid confronting dull, tasteless normality. Sorrows are sublimated by the all-consuming energy of a trio for whom maturing rhymes with dying, skilfully juggling nostalgia and modernity.
