French psych duo The Limiñanas have announced the release of their new album 'Faded' on 21st February via Because Music. Pre-save available here.
Having recently released first single 'Prisoner of Beauty' feat. Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, The Limiñanas return with a soaring and captivating track carried by French singer Bertrand Belin's unique vocals.
'J'Adore Le Monde' is crafted as an ode to what makes our world unique. With an almost spoken phrasing, Bertrand Belin depicts our society and further outlines the theme of the forthcoming album.

The Limiñanas comment: "The result of a synthesizer collage, with lyrics open to multiple interpretations... We hope that Bertrand Belin, who writes wonderfully and is a great performer, will always be present on at least one track of all our future albums! He is never where one expects him."
As previously announced, the band have confirmed a London show at Electric Ballroom on 12th April, which will be their first UK performance since a sold-out appearance at The Scala in May 2022.

-----
Hailing from a small town in the South of France, Lionel and Marie Limiñana, aka The Limiñanas, reinvent the 1960s French yéyé heritage by fusing it with modern rock. Their unique style blends the rebellious spirit and aesthetic of the Gainsbourg and Bardot eras with contemporary garage and psychedelic sounds. Singing in French and English and collaborating with a diverse array of artists, including Iggy Pop, Laurent Garnier, Peter Hook, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Etienne Daho to name but a few, The Limiñanas have a unique ability to distill the cachet of a nostalgic, highly cinematic era while revisiting it through a modern lens.
When it comes to purveying unadulterated ’60s’ garage pop, evincing a love for Pebbles and Back from the Grave compilations, Lionel and Marie have always had the chops. Equally, the duo has retained such inspirational roots while painting from a far more capacious palette, always happy to throw an oud, sitar or bouzouki into the mix, while embracing everything from UK post-punk and Italian horror film soundtracks to The Velvet Underground and electronic dance music, consistently bending these disparate components into a signature that is resolutely their own.
Since 2009, The Limiñanas have released 8 critically acclaimed studio albums, 2 rare tracks records, 1 Best Of compilation, numerous EPs, original soundtracks and various collaborations, including 2019's 'Diabolique' by L'Epee, a collaboration with The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe and celebrated French actress Emmanuelle Seigner.
