NLF3

Rhythms that seem to rise up in a swirl of air, reverberations that last and haunt for a long time like cheerful ghosts, surreptitious melodies that float in your mind, tunes from very different places, ginned up from every corner of the planet. NLF3’s new album continues and refines the story of this French band. A story that began with a resurrection. After the demise in 1999 of Prohibition, their first band, the Laureau brothers turned to music in a more disjointed and free vein, but with the same roots as their previous group. In other words: music born of an idea of rock but with more flexible and airy frameworks, open to all possibilities, including a plurality of horizons. From the outset, their music, under the name NLF3, had to be open to other forms and aesthetics, capable of incorporating a diversity of sounds, arising from the very evolution of their tastes and desires. So, 20 years ago, NLF3 was born, and its first recordings bear witness to both an era and a singularity. Drawing on the contemporary, the first records under this name sought something in the middle of a river, whose banks were on one side pure abstraction and on the other the hypnosis of rhythm.
