Versari
Sous La Peau
French post-punk/rock band Versari release their third album, Sous La Peau. They combine the French style of song writing, post-punk and post hardcore sensibilities. First single Des Images got more than 11,000 streams in two months. Sous la Peau features seductive noise guitars, a powerful and driving bass, and a percussion section that is intense, elegant and morishly incessant. The lyrics are stories of purifying pyres, burning lies, and false pretenses are brazenly revealed. Sous La Peau proudly features guest musician Adrian Utley (founding member of trip-hop band Portishead). A combination of these elements led to a powerful, provocative, tense, urgent, turbulent and harrowing album. Jean-Charles Versari reflects on writing Sous La Peau: "Looking at Sous la Peau now, I see how most of the songs talk about loss: The loss of perspective, loss of loved ones, loss of creativity, loss of bearings. Sous la Peau is the permanent feeling you have in these moments, when a feeling of fire is perpetually crawling under your skin."
