BRUIT ≤ ~ The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again
I can’t believe this is a debut album. Toulouse post-rock quartet BRUIT ≤ (the symbol a sign of humility, meaning “less than”) certainly knows what it’s doing. Four extended stormers (one for each member), two explosive videos, a sense of largesse, and a

Clark ~ Playground in a Lake
Playground in a Lake is about climate change, the loss of innocence and the death of humanity: a concept album about the last person on earth. In tone, the album recalls Last Days’ The Safety of the North, although the finale is
