FIRST DRAFT - neues Video "Time Hails No Suns"
Creative post-rock/shoegaze duo FIRST DRAFT share a new animated video to illustrate their captivating single "Time Hails No Suns".
It "is a fantastically crafted five minutes of noise" explain Everything Is Noise in the video premiere. New EP 'Declines Are Long Gone' is due for digital and LP release on February 19th via LyloProd.
French duo FIRST DRAFT transform sharp sensibility into raw energy. Their new video "Time Hails No Suns" shelters all the talent and originality of the project. The video is about modern concerns - such as climate change - and existential questions that highlight the duo's incredible musicianship, in particular the multiform bass sound and the drums/vocals performance. The video was directed by Sébastien Vion from Lohengrin Papadato's drawings. Add the single to the streaming platforms HERE.
Say the band: "The video “Time Hails No Suns” intends to be our new EP Declines Are Long Gone’s flagship. Each one of the 5 tracks has its own artwork. They illustrate the different topics of the EP with strokes and lines: from climate change to the quest for the self, from creating in a drowning world to finding life-saving connections. The challenge was to interweave all these narratives in a coherent way in the very moment of the track "Time Hails No Suns", by asking Sébastien Vion to animate the art made by Lohengrin Papadato."

FIRST DRAFT's new EP 'Declines Are Long Gone' depicts a poetic and painful modern world, full of contradictions and genuine humanity. They craft cathartic soundscapes, harmonies and modulations that fill the space and sound as if there were plenty of instruments. The uncompromising rhythm section is facing sweet, melodic, deep-rooted and powerful vocals driven by the drummer herself. A striking contrast that emphasizes an artistic universe both dark and hopeful. 'Declines Are Long Gone' was recorded and mixed by Fred Norguet at Studio 33 Tour in Frontenac, France. Mastering by Pierre Henri Demel (ODN Mastering) in Fondettes, France. Artwork by Lohengrin Papadato.

Formed in 2016 in Tours, France, FIRST DRAFT avoid absolutes to focus on slight differences, drawing inspiration from post-rock, stoner rock, brit rock and shoegaze. Technically demanding, the duo made up of Marine Arnoult and Clément Douam have crafted their very own sensitive and conscious sonic personality. Marine has developed a remarkable independence performing drums and vocals at the same time, a distinctive characteristic that fascinate the audience during live shows. Clément has found his own touch throughout a passionate quest. The only one signal passing through his effect pedals rolls out a wild range of sounds.
The show is total. The bond between the instruments guides us toward the maze of a mindful universe, enlightened and paradoxically, as dark as bright. And this is exactly what FIRST DRAFT is about: converting one's psychological barriers meeting the challenges of the modern world into beauty and philosophy. The duo translate their paralysis dealing with environmental issues and the pessimistic concerns induced, into a positive inspiring strength. This ambivalence is masterfully adjusted to sound creation.
FIRST DRAFT's sophomore studio effort 'Declines Are Long Gone', is coming out on February 19th on vinyl and digital via LyloProd.
