Tumbling Walls by The Ready-Mades
After declaring l’”Autogestion Sentimentale”, The Ready-Mades announce “Tumbling Walls”, their brand new album out on march 10th on Badasonic Records.
The french soul/beat quintet was born in Paris in 2015 and recorded two vinyl singles in a row (the 4 songs soberly titled “EP” and the double A-side “Ouagadougou Blues / Fire”, both of them released in 2016 and now sold out). The Ready-Mades released their first album, “Autogestion sentimentale”, in 2018 on Soundflat Records.
Recorded on analog tape at the Retromixer studio in Châlons-en-Champagne, France, “Tumbling Walls” blows on the incandescent embers of 60's beat and soul, ignites minds and sets bodies ablaze, brings awareness and a contemporary outlook.
Its twelve tracks are built around feverish melodies, vintage sound and irresistible groove, and talk about sorority, ecology, love, revolt, fatherhood, mistrust of the political class and of the start-up nation.
“Shout it Out”, the lead single of the album, is released on february 10th on digital platforms.
