Fiercely virtuosic and deeply committed, BRUIT ≤ has, in just a few years, established itself as a key figure in the French post-rock scene, a style the band has absorbed and reshaped through its relentless inspirations. After a standout session at Seattle’s KEXP studios, the French quartet unveiled The Age of Ephemerality in 2025, released via Pelagic Records — an album they will defend on stage during their tour, including a show on May 8 at Neue Zukunft, Berlin.

Rising from the smouldering remains of various French major label pop bands in 2016, BRUIT ≤ ?brü-é\ [French, literally, noise] assembled with the desire to escape the confines of the ‘big business’ music industries and return to creation as an artistic process unadulterated by commercial constraints or expectations.

After two EPs, a debut album, and a tour as M83’s backing band, BRUIT ≤ now presents The Age of Ephemerality, a new album that explores new horizons while remaining true to the quartet’s sonic roots. The band’s convictions have remained steadfast over the years, and The Age of Ephemerality is no exception within their discography: the album is not available on major streaming platforms monopolized by social predators.
