1.	Rue St. Honoré 02:01	lyrics	buy track
Dés que tu fermes les yeux L’aventure va commencer Seul dans la chambre Coupée par les détails Dés que tu fermes les yeux L’aventure va commencer Le carré de la fenêtre Le chemin de ta mémoire Ne pas déranger Ne pas déranger le chien qui dort
2.	Miller 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Dans la rue on apprends ce que sont les êtres humains Pour les reste on les invente Les gamins de la rue demeurent avec nous Ils sont les seuls héros Si ça ne se passe pas dans la rue C’est de la littérature Si ça ne se passe pas dans les rues C’est faux, ce n’est que de la littérature

On nous poussa dans una grande salle blanche Les yeux commencent à clignoter On nous poussa dans une grande salle blanche À clignoter pour la lumiere Ça dura presque les trois heures J’étais abruti j’avais la tête vide Ça dura presque les trois heures J’étais abruti j’avais la tête vide Il y en avait que je connaissais Mais d’autres ils étaient étrangers Ça dura presque les trois heures J’étais abruti j’avais la tête vide Ça dura presque les trois heures J’étais abruti j’avais la tête vide
4.	Un Promeneur Solitaire 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Me voici donc seul sur terre N’ayant plus des proches, ni frères Que moi même Que moi même Le plus sociable des humaines J’aurais aimé les hommes en dépit De leur haine De leur haine Un promeneur solitaire

Restons prudes et civilisés Ses yeux non dieu Je ne fais que de mon mieux Ses yeux mon dieu Ses yeux mon dieu

about

[EN] "As soon as you close your eyes / The adventure will begin": these are the opening lines of "Rue St. Honoré", the title track of the debut EP by Les Belmondo, a post-punk trio born in 2021 hailing from Bologna and Romagna. The adventure begins pushing a way through imagination and harsh reality. "If it doesn't happen on the street / It's just literature" the next song reiterates, and it is no coincidence that it is called "Miller".
“Our story begins in those days at the end of the summer, between beaches getting empty, the first cold mornings, some daredevils who ride the last waves on a battered surfboard. Summers often go by and leave no trace, leaving us with the desire to stay close to each others. We warm up with some riffs, the assault against the boredom of another winter ".
But the sound of Les Belmondo plays against the usual melancholy. Fierce and fast post-punk that doesn't look back. It thunders with somber echoes of Birthday Party or Gun Club, and sometimes it is reminiscent of certain contemporary dark punk bands like Belgrade or Lost Tribe.
We suffer but "the heat will come back again". Also for this reason they have chosen the French language for their lyrics: to watch themselves from the outside, to distance themselves even from their own nostalgia and weaknesses. Les Belmondo are aware that they are "solitary walkers", as another title states, but they do not run away from the world. Maybe it's the world that wasn't made for them: "I would have liked men / Despite their hatred".
