The supergroup is happy to announce the upcoming double LP presenting ‘Drug Burn’ single available from now.
Today BUÑUEL, a literal supergroup of global significance, announces plans to release the new double album Mansuetude via SKiN GRAFT Records and Italy’s OVERDRIVE Records on October 25, 2024.
Composed & recorded by a literal supergroup of global significance, BUÑUEL boasts thesingular vocals and razor sharp lyrics of Eugene S. Robinson (ex-OXBOW) and a powerhouseItalian trio comprised of guitarist Xabier Iriondo (AFTERHOURS, A SHORT APNEA), bassist Andrea Lombardini (The FRAMERS) and drummer Franz Valente (IL TEATRO DELGIORRORI). Unforgiving. Merciless. Beautiful. BUÑUEL is heavy. BUÑUEL have always been led by instinct and the id-like impulse to express unfiltered emotion through song. They form a close musical alliance, with a seemingly innate ability to create music that warps and buckles with complexity, freedom, tenderness and primaeval energy all at once.
The title, Mansuetude-meaning “meekness” or “gentleness”-might seem like a juxtaposition. The record is, in Eugene’s words “extreme but articulate”. A double album with three sides. A balancing act performed for and by the unbalanced. Throughout, BUÑUEL take every opportunity to stretch their musical tendrils towards discomfort, surrealism and the deconstruction of tradition, as they reach absolute abandon.
Mansuetude was produced by Timo Ellis, and features guests including Jacob Bannon (lead singer of Converge), guitarist Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk, The Denison Kimball Trio), vocalist Megan Osztrosits (Couch Slut), cellist Andrea Beninati and David Binney on alto saxophone and vocals. Mansuetude dives into the eye of the storm and beyond, encompassing many moods, from post-hardcore to avant-noise, hard blues to post-industrial, from symphonic thrash to metal to free-jazz, all played at great cost.
