France’s Volt returns with their debut full-length album, the long-awaited follow-up to their now-out-of-print four-song twelve-inch EP.
Lili says, “Our music is full of holes and black/white contrasts. War between instruments—guitar lurking, then crashing down on synthesizer while girl and boy french kiss and flirt. So far our songs deal with: a pack of wolf-dogs barking, a romantic man in love with a nun, communicating without understanding, sex and new stuff, feast of snakes, couples, and mental paralysis.”
Todd says, “Jack, Lili, and FX go deeper into the dark corners of your brain where disco dancing and obtuse punk noise collide with smeared lipstick and French-fried boners. Unsettling electro rhythms under subtle vocal transmissions turn your stomach and pry their way into your heart with the scathing, yet melodic, simplicity that has to be heard to be believed.”
Jay says, “Wide-grooved and satisfying darkwave from Lili Z. and Jack A, famous French garage punk lovebirds and former respective members of the No-Talents and Splash Four, and their secret weapon ‘FX’ on synthesizer and theremin. Equally at home in the Paris dance nightclub as in the dank basement punk bar, with a synth-led electric charge that's as often angry and aggressive as it is whimsical and fun. The loud attack just screams off the vinyl.”
Laurent says, “Autant le dire, Volt c’est l‘electropunk dans ce qu’il a de meilleur.”
In The Red says, “YEAH!! Get the debut album from VOLT!”
