After a relative rest for the two Liège heads, it is time to get back to business. And this business requires four hands to play, very rapidly, and two ears, to be listened to very loudly. Trapped in a frantic chase on a Belgian highway, finally on a slope, this time, we are missing the brakes… and avoiding the famous ruts is imperative for survival.
So here we are, grazing the slide in a shower of magnificent sparks, while being hit by these ten punchy pieces releasing a crazy energy. Even if the forays towards EBM become more and more pop (if we can use that word here), Punk becomes always more synthetic, Kraut is percussive and martial, but with PRINCE HARRY, it's a long time that the Indus has been moving very fast: at 140bpm on the emergency lane.
"A Long Way Down" is the fourth LP from the Belgian duo to find asylum on the Parisian label. After 5 years of discretion - almost absence - this curious pink album propels us to the unthinkable frontiers of electronic punk, lo-fi EBM and garage new-beat.
"Porté par ses plus fidèles enfants soldats, le fantôme d'une new wave en décomposition lacère nos tourments sardoniques. Evocation nostalgique de certaines caves belges dissimulées. Hurlée au travers de nos entrailles, Martellements synthétiques. Effondrements électriques. Au rythme du vandalisme quotidien, la désillusion se fait symphonique."

Regal joue du Garage. Les influences sont clairement ancrées dans les années 60, compiles Back From The Grave et Garage Punk Unknowns en tête, tout en ayant écouté les Black Lips en boucle. Les quatre moutons noirs de Regal n'en restent pas moins friands de l'herbe bien grasse, dont les graines ont été plantées par les Seeds et l'entretien assuré par the Weakends.
