CATHEDRALE

In 8 years of existence, an EP, and four albums, the members of CATHEDRALE from Toulouse
have gradually honed their formula: precision rhythms, defiant vocals, and razor-sharp guitars
in the service of a post-something music, more proto than punk, as powerful as pop, always in
the red.

With experience touring across Europe alongside bands like Thee Oh Sees, Frustration, Rendez-
vous, or Uranium Club, CATHEDRALE has built a solid reputation on stage over the years.

For their fourth album, the band travels to London where they reunite with producer Syd Kemp
(Ulrika Spacek) and his Haha Sound Studio, recording and mixing the album Words/Silence in
one week. Jason Mitchell handles the mastering.
Exploring themes of insomnia, change, boredom, or separation, Words/Silence reveals a more
introspective side of the band. This new opus is darker, denser, and allows more space for
arrangements. The same applies to the artwork, inspired by the instinctive forms of Matisse and
the cut-up technique envisioned by Burroughs and Gysin in the 1950s. This visual illustrates the
role of spontaneity and randomness in the visual, sonic, and literary experiments of this new
album.
