Track Of The Day 24/10 – Rendez-Vous

'Sentimental Animal'

Rendez-Vous are ready to explode.

The Parisian band have released two stellar EPs, playing tour after tour across the continent.

Blackened post-punk scenes, the group's scorched riffs and emphatic vocals recall everyone from early Bauhaus to The Sound, and even elements of Joy Division.

In a similar vein to Iceage, say, the five-piece have an identity of their own, one that becomes instantly clear on debut album 'Superior State'.

Out this Friday – October 26th – it's an intense, visceral experience, one that isn't easily dismissed.

We're able to share 'Sentimental Animal' and it's a dark hued post-punk burner, the stabbed guitar lines wrapping themselves around the bass line spasms like barbed wire.

A suffocating but ultimately invigorating experience, 'Sentimental Animal' comes equipped with a stylish new video.

Check it out now.

Rendez-Vous will play London's Moth Club on November 24th.
