BRUIT ≤ 'The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again'

'The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again' is the stunning debut album from French collective BRUIT ≤, redefining the boundaries of post-rock and beyond. Emerging in 2021, the album combines neo-classical elegance, atmospheric post-rock, and experimental textures, crafting an emotionally charged, genre-defying sound. Rooted in both classical training and spontaneous experimentation, BRUIT ≤ balance thoughtful composition with raw, visceral energy.

Across its sweeping tracks, the album explores themes of environmental destruction, societal collapse, and resistance, featuring spoken word passages from activist thinkers to underscore its message. Yet, its power lies not only in its political undertones but in its ability to weave beauty and noise into something transcendent. Moving fluidly between post-metal, free jazz, folktronica, and avant-garde, 'The Machine is burning...' stands as a bold, visionary work that pushes the limits of modern instrumental music.
