Requiem + LIVE OUT NOW!

From the press release:
L’Avenir is back with Requiem, the fourth full-length album for Barcelona’s Cold Beats Records. Requiem finds L’Avenir visiting themes of alienation, postmodernity, and spiritualism while expanding the sonic palette far beyond his minimal synth beginnings. The music of L’Avenir has often been compared to 4AD-era Clan of Xymox or mid-period Depeche Mode. But while echoes of the former can be heard, L’Avenir brings a uniquely fresh perspective unheard in other bands of the genre. Requiem features eight new songs and is available on limited edition blood red vinyl and compact disc. The CD version features the full LP plus the bonus album L’Avenir – Live, recorded at various concerts across the U.S. in 2019.

Order red vinyl or CD edition w/ digital download
Digital only

Requiem and Live is also available on Spotify, Apple Music and through all digital retailers.
