Over the last three years, Lyonnais has methodically explored the grey area between post-punk and proto-industrial drone. Through it all, the group has fostered a mesmerizing art-pop that morphs ever so slightly each time the band steps on stage. Pulling off such versatility is no easy chore. But the impending release of the enigmatic group's debut album, Want For Wish For Nowhere (Hoss Records), proves that keeping experimental music interesting is a task at which this mysterious foursome excels.

After two super limited self-released cassette runs, "The Fatalist" arrives as the first official look at Want For Wish For Nowhere, which is due out Oct. 18 via Hoss Records.

The song captures the group's murky and mesmerizing presence, and materializes here with a much fuller sound than before — the result of bouncing the original digital track to tape and remastering it, which opens up a whole new palette of deep, rich organic textures.
