Two years after their debut on Berlin-based Mannequin Records, Parisian duo Leroy Se Meurt returns with their second full-length album, Hier Pour Toujours.

Far from any sense of nostalgia, this record offers no illusion of hope-history repeats itself, the future looks bleak, and their brand of electronic punk is the perfect soundtrack to it all.

Drum machines dictate the pace while synths saturate the space, looping sequences grind relentlessly, and vocals lead this machine orchestra straight into the heart of the chaos.

Drawing from their roots, Leroy Se Meurt pushes their fierce electronics further than ever-experimenting with bold slogans, spoken passages, and powerful sing-along choruses.

With Hier Pour Toujours, Leroy Se Meurt isn't offering optimism, but rather persistence.

Nothing is settled yet-and perhaps, just perhaps-there's still light at the end of the tunnel.
