After releasing three EP’s, the first Mitraille LP is here. Mitraille is a three-piece from Belgium who describe their sound as garagepunk. I am not too sure about that. I usually associate the angular guitar riffing and throbbing bass lines that is central to Mitraille’s sound with post punk leaning genres. But there definitely is a lot of punk abrasiveness and attitude in Mitraille, and the eleven songs on Mitraille’s self-titled LP are frenetic, aggressive and surprisingly melodic.
The Lows is an early highlight on the record. It arguably is the most catchy song on the record and has a rockin’ chorus. It is by no means the only standout, and on the remainder of the record Mitraille prove they have succesfully graduated from the EP format.
Mitraille is expected to ship early July. Pre-order now at Belly Button Records.
