Relax
Description
This debut album, RELAX, now considered a classic, firmly established the band on the French music scene. From the electro bitchiness of We Have Some, which opens the album, to the terrifying Faster, which closes it, Les Frustrés played with musical boundaries to produce a dense and varied album that is now considered a landmark in French post-punk. Just think WARSAW meets WIRE meets DEVO to get a pretty good idea of their world and references. They added a restrained violence and a madness that was lacking in the usurpers of the time who claimed to be inspired by these bands, a real singer who sang, feverish drums, degenerate synths that gave you a headache, and a guitar as incisive as a knife blade. Frustration was already establishing itself as the antithesis of these cold, harmless, and pretentious rock bands.
