Lula Wiles - Shame & Sedition - VINYL LP

Conceived amidst profound change and calls for revolution, Shame and Sedition is the sound of Lula Wiles amplifying the present moment. Each song grew from personal revelations or yearning for collective reckoning, materializing into proclamations against powerful oligarchs, toxic relationships, media narratives, and the callousness capitalism demands. Sung in their instantly recognizable tight harmony, within a landscape of expansive electric guitars, dynamic currents of bass and drums, and intimate acoustic textures, the album sees Lula Wiles' sound deepening to give honest form to their trenchant lyrics. Shame and Sedition captures Lula Wiles at a pivotal juncture, as they critically examine today's nuanced struggles and reconsider how our lives are lived.

Vincent Peirani and Francois Salque's guiding thread for their second is the music of South America, and more specifically Astor Piazzolla. Their two sonorities, as magnificent as they are different, intertwine and interlace amid the melodic and rhythmic undulations of the pieces, sometimes adapted, sometimes created by Peirani, Salque and Tomas Gubitsch.

?When you listen to these songs, all types of feelings and sensations start to coalesce in different parts of your body. It's hard to define them because they speak to emotional gradients, contradictions, and contrasts not the type of emotions that you can easily qualify with a single word. Real relationships, beyond the reductive Incha moment in timeInch type of snapshots, are like that complex and dynamic. This is what makes this record exceptional - and not only as far as instrumental music is concerned!
