L’Au-Delà, released at the beginning of January, is the second album from Double Date With Death, with a cover designed by none other than Elzo Durt, one of the masters of psychedelic visuals in recent years. The band doesn’t even hide it, it’s clearly influenced by Californian psychedelic garage rock (think Thee Oh Sees or Ty Segall, to name only the most famous). In this case, however, the Montreal band has chosen to express itself in French. The album, recorded, produced and mixed by Guillaume Chiasson (Ponctuation, Jesuslesfilles), is divided into eight short tracks just psychedelic enough to take us on a journey to the beyond.
