We start to know better Engus and Eleonore, these two young French phenomenons of electronic duo Carbon Airways. On September 28 they released a new hard and jumper track called "Dust", already performed in live before the out date.
Calm before the storm. You Walk Away EP was acclamed by the US fans during their perfomance at Coachella Festival last year. Then, after a tour and months of work, new EP is on the way. Starting by "Break The Silence", with their video showed as an anthem for young generation who's got his word to say about the world's pain, very linked to Hunger Games: The Mockingjay Part 2 movie. The song "Blasted Daydream" then is released at late July.
The next? Japan's Summer Sonic Festival. Applaused by Japanese fans (at the time of The Prodigy, Madeon and Dillon Francis), they spent two weeks in the rising sun's country, with music and... games. Kendama or something.
At their back in Europe, Carbon Airways continue their adventure. "Dust" is out, different of previous EP and the two previous songs. A little bit dark, but very strong, especially then they perform it live.
Their new EP named Distance Forces will be released on late October. About their debut album, they wait the good moment to reveal it. If you want to discover new songs, go see them in a gig.
“Dedicated to those who sacrifice their freedom to break the silence.” Here is how the video starts : Carbon Airways refer to people launching alerts and putting their lives to danger when they report a threat ... like Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), ready to fight Snow for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II' movie, out this November.
It's by the way in a set of the movie where the video for "Break The Silence" has been filmed. Young people wearing scarfs - and reduced to silence - will put them out at the end of the video, showing “And you ... would you sacrifice your freedom ?”. According to Aficia, this video is an anthem of a young and angry generation which doesn't want to be speakless face to modern world's pains.
"Break The Silence" is a huge rap-pop sound announced on May 3. First planned for May 11, Carbon Airways gave a sound preview on a Facebook video showing Eleonore - the lead singer - waken up by a strange boy. A video is announced later and some pictures of the filiming and the video is out on June 15.
Their new EP is planned for September 2015, and they will be at Japan's Summer Sonic Festival this July. The debut album 'Outrenoir' is on the road ...

To end 2013 in music, we selected for you 10 albums/EPs/singles of 10 artists. You probably don't know all of them, so it's time to discover some new music.
This 3 piece band from Minneapolis, MN, Blink-182 fan, knows the definition of pop/punk/rock. After their first EP The Mutt out last year, The Crash Bandits revealed in July their first album Better Off. 14 punk-rock tracks to move your head.
A 2nd EP will be released soon.
We already talked you about Carbon Airways, a brother and a sister from France who make huge electro-rock sounds. The EP Black Sun is a proof. It revealed, 4 months after "Black Sun" and "Conquest" songs releases, 2 new songs called "DNA Providence" and "Grace And Virtue", plus 3 remixes of "Black Sun".
The songs of their first album are currently in final mixing, and the album will be out April 2014.
The 5 guys from Long Island, NY, continue they Alternative Rock journey. The 2nd EP No Respect follows first one, Nobody Takes Vegas, with 6 new songs and a video, with the same energy.
Two good news : band's lead singer Nick LaGreca is 21 years old since December 7, and new songs are coming for 2014.
If the Canadian band Half Moon Run begins to be known in 2013 (one year after releasing their first album Dark Eyes), it is because their debut single "Full Circle" has been used on the "Horizon" trailer for the game Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (out October 29). The debut album' 12 tracks are calm, between Indie-Pop and Indie-Rock.
Between french and english songs, the French band After Lilly revealed on July 20 twelve pop-rock songs in their debut album Please Wake Me Up Tomorrow!, following the EP Lost Your Way (2011). A little beginning for a great following, we hope that.
The French band Phoenix come back is succeded : their 5th studio album Bankrupt! surprised some fans, starting with the album teaser. The 10 tracks remember a bit Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, however the sounds are more varied : synthpop, new wave. Indie-rock is still here.
No tour for The Strokes' fifth album. However Comedown Machine, containing 11 songs sounding like their first albums, received generally good critics. The single "All of Time" had its video including the band's good moments in touring (check out post about "All the Time" here).
Four years after Brand New Eyes, Hayley William's band Paramore revealed their self-titled album, acclaimed by fans and many music magazines (by examples Metacritic, NME). The album shows 17 great songs, sometimes powered, sometimes alternative rock, sometimes punk. And the self-titled Tour isn't finished, to people who want to see Paramore.
The album name is definitively smaller than previous one. Anyway, Bring Me The Horizon don't stop making huge metalcore songs. Proofs ? "Can You Feel My Heart", "Sleepwalking" and "Shadow Moses". And the best place to see them was Reading Festival.
The video translates good the name of the song : "Black" for the dark place where the duo is playing, probably a garage, with some lights, and "Sun" for the "hot" and huge sound which give us want to move our head.
Carbon Airways continue their tour, we wait now a first album. Anyway, you can watch the official video for "Black Sun" :
Electronic is now everywhere in the world. Take by example Skrillex, Hardwell, Martin Solveig or Avicii. But who said we have to be more than 19-20 years old to be known as electro music producer ? At 17, Madeon, a young french DJ, surprised the world of electro with his mashup "Pop Culture" ; he produced at 18 The City EP and now he's working on the first album. And there's even younger than Madeon. And you find it once again in France. Enguérand and Eleonore Fernese, brother and sister, as Carbon Airways. All Carbon Airways songs follow the same logic : hard electronic, rock, techno, and the voices of the Fernese. All their songs give us want to move and to jump. And this directly since their first EP Shake Your Rage, Part 1 (2011). The two members were only 15 and 14 years old, knowing that they began to play music instruments at the age of 7.
Carbon Airways in 2012
Today there are at the head of 5 EPs, whose Oxydizer. Their 2 new singles, "Black Sun" and "Conquest", are available since June 24th. Currently, no album is announced. But after more than 10 or 15 songs, Carbon Airways probably could think about a first album. The band were naturally in some festivals like Ultra Music Festival (their first great show at the United States) and the Eurockéennes in Belfort (France). Discover now these young french prodigies of electro rock. To check out their songs : https://soundcloud.com/carbonairways
