Dééfait - Dééfait Dééfait

Dééfait's debut album lands with real critical momentum: 8.5/10 in Noise Magazine (drawing comparisons to Sonic Youth, Can and Godspeed), four stars in Rolling Stone, and a spot on Les Inrockuptibles' "15 acts to watch in 2026" list. Lead track "I Promise to Divide You" picked up a Line of Best Fit Discovery Feature, plus placements on The Line of Best Fit, DMY and Hard Of Hearing playlists.

For fans of Fugazi, Boredoms and Gnod — noise/psychedelic/gothic rock built around Ric Lara's piercing "heliumcore" vocals (English/French/Spanish) over a bass-driven, guitar-layered wall of sound. Recorded at Black Box studios in Angers (Peter Deimel) and mixed by Andy Blundell/Gnod.

Live credentials: shows alongside Suuns and Zu, La Route du Rock (winter edition) and The Great Escape, plus a run through French/Dutch underground and DIY venues. They're touring the UK in November 2026 (Shacklewell Arms London, State51 Factory Session, Bristol, Todmorden, Rough Trade Nottingham, Sheffield)
