Contre-La-Montre marks Chaton Laveur’s return with a hypnotic first single from their second album, Labyrinthe. The Liège-based duo delivers a bold composition where motorik bass and mechanical drums collide with obsessive, repetitive guitars, creating a palpable tension that evokes the relentless passage of time.
Following in the footsteps of Beak>, SUUNS, and Broadcast, Chaton Laveur bridges German Krautrock and contemporary indie pop in a unique way. Captivating keyboard and vocal melodies float above an unforgiving rhythm section, transforming the anxiety of passing time into an immersive and cathartic sonic experience.
Recorded at Studio Claudio in Paris with Vincent Hivert (En Attendant Ana), this track captures the essence of a duo that refuses conventions: minimalist yet rich, repetitive yet captivating, urgent yet meditative. An invitation to accept the passage of time and focus on what truly matters: living it together.
