French synthwave icon Carpenter Brut is again with a brand new single referred to as “Leather-based Temple” and yeah I imply, it is all the fantastic ’80s vibes you are gonna want at present. “Leather-based Temple” can be the primary style and title observe of Carpenter Brut‘s third and closing album in his Leather-based trilogy, due out in 2026.
The one is accompanied by an immersive video directed by Dehn Sora. It introduces Midwichpolis, a post-apocalyptic metropolis risen from nuclear fallout in 2077 which is the beating coronary heart of the forthcoming album.
On the idea, Carpenter Brut elaborated: “The brutal empire is dominated by Iron Tusk, and on the centre of Midwichpolis stands the Temple, Iron Tusk’s tower, rising from the bottom like a black blade pushed into town’s core. From its a whole bunch of flooring, it seems to be down on the Metropolis of Gentle, sanctuary of the Mighty, the place life is a parade of obscene luxurious. Up there, the nights are by no means darkish; neon and holograms bathtub the streets in synthetic gentle, hiding the corruption and extra behind glass facades.
“Beneath, past partitions that nobody might breach, stretch the Midwich Slums – a kingdom of poverty, wreckage, and worry. Screens broadcast Tusk’s propaganda with out pause, promising order and prosperity. In reality, distress rots the streets, and repression falls on anybody who dares to oppose him. The place the sunshine was brightest, the shadows had been deepest.”
