The dark electro-romantic duo Après La Nuit will release their new album, Aller-Retour, on 10 October via Echozone. They recently presented a new single titled "Life And Lies." The duo, consisting of Richard Abdeni (Les Anges de la Nuit) and Marilyne B., delivers a rhythmic and catchy melody accompanied by electrifying and powerful lyrics. "Life And Lies" is a modern, hymn-like song that explores themes of deception and illusion. It is available as an EP, which includes a variety of strong remixes by Tonschleifer, Funkenstaub, StatiK SeKt, Narcotic Elements, Un(d)Abtanzbar, and Mark Loodewijk.
The album Aller-Retour revolves around the concept of a “round trip” through themes of doubt, desire, displacement, and survival, featuring lyrics in both English and French. The record blends melancholic synths, sensual vocals, and cinematic soundscapes, creating an intimate, shadowy atmosphere that conveys an emotional journey. Aller-Retour is a concise and elegiac statement from Après La Nuit, balancing romantic despair with electronic polish and inviting listeners on a trip where the return is uncertain but the emotions are inevitable.
