Untitled With Drums - Made Flesh [CD / Vinyl] [PRE-ORDER]

UNTITLED WITH DRUMS are a four-piece from Clermont-Ferrand, France, whose decade of work has steadily carved out a place for uncompromising alt rock in a scene that too often plays it safe. Their debut album ‘Hollow’ launched them onto the stages of Hellfest and Nuits de Fourvière, and ‘Made Flesh’ is where that foundation becomes something sharper.
The record doesn't deal in metaphysical abstraction - it deals with people. Ten tracks, each delivered in the first person, each turning the lens on a different corner of the psyche: the latent need to dominate, the comfortable numbness of denial, the particular injustice of watching someone else get away with it. The approach is satirical but never detached; these are states the band inhabits on record, not observations from a safe distance. Musically, ‘Made Flesh’ reflects that tension: Lucas D.'s guitar moves between weight and texture without settling into formula, Nicolas Z.'s synthesizers have grown into a structural element rather than a colour, and Rémy D.'s drumming holds the whole thing together with a precision that never tips into rigidity. Martin L.B.'s vocals carry an emotional charge that gives even the album's more sardonic moments their necessary sting.
Recorded in a small town near Clermont-Ferrand and shaped by producer Cyrille Gachet into something harder than anyone expected, ‘Made Flesh’ emerged from a process that left marks. And the record shows it.
