Tracks list

It’s almost trite to point out that Intergalactic Lovers have been on a
journey, but – in literally every sense – they have. The Belgian
band have travelled a long way, departing the dilapidated former factory
building they use as a base to release two crisply superb albums and play shows
in every corner of Europe and beyond.

New album ‘Exhale’, however, raises the bar once more. Out on
September 15th through Unday Records, it’s the sound of a band resolutely
coming into their own. Clipped electro-rock in the vein of Interpol, The Cure,
or Yeah Yeah Yeahs, it’s punchy and concise, yet also incredibly open.

“Every album we’ve always moved up a step because as you’re
older you evolve and what happens in your world changes,” explains Lara
Chedraoui. “We’re friends, we’re family, and the farther you
travel it inspires you to write different things as well.” Recorded in two
English studios – The Chairworks in Leeds and Vale Studios in
Worcestershire – ‘Exhale’ was steered by Gil Norton (Pixies,
Foo Fighters, Patti Smith) and mastered by Ted Jensen.

“I was pretty intimidated at first,” Lara explains. “Gil works
with so many bands and we were this little band from Flanders trying to prove to
him that we’re even bigger than any name he’s ever worked
with.” “The studio is one of the most confrontational places to be
because you can hear every note and that can make you insecure in a way,”
Lara reveals. “We wanted more from this record.”

And they’ve certainly succeeded. ‘Exhale’ sounds like PJ
Harvey at her most seductive, Feist at her most barbed. ‘Talk!
Talk!’ feels like Blondie’s cynical cousin, ‘Ego
Wars’ is a rousing depiction of a faltering relationship, while
‘Fears’ is an anthem that feels almost tailor-made for arenas.

First single ‘Between The Lines’ is a fantastic example of what to
expect: barbed songwriting with a personal touch, it’s everything
Intergalactic Lovers have promised to do condensed into three minutes of biting,
emphatic, coruscating music. Watch the Magritte inspired video here.

“It’s what goes on in my head and it has to come out,”
explains singer Lara Chedraoui. “It’s that or I beat up people. So
I decided I’m going to write songs – it’s cathartic because
it helps me get rid of anger or sorrow.” So how far can Intergalactic
Lovers travel? Lara smiles: “World domination is on my list. I’ve
put the bar there.”
