Avant-garde duo La Fin Absolute du Monde to play in South Lake Tahoe July 19

Neo-noir, avant-garde duo La Fin Absolute du Monde have released their third E.P. titled 'Descend,' featuring their first collaborations with outside producers, and are touring California and the Northwest this Summer, beginning in South Lake Tahoe on Friday, July 19 at Whiskey Dicks.

The duo wrapped up their first U.K. tour in support of 'Descend' in April where they traversed the U.K. on buses and public transportation, and are now beginning the Summer leg of their 2013 U.S. tour.

Their U.S. tours are comparatively glamorous, where they played 130 shows last year, and which involve their own car and occasional sleep at truck stops.

“Our first U.K. tour was a great experience and we can't wait to go back, but at the same time, we're looking forward to being able to sleep in a car and get free wi-fi at McDonald's here in the U.S., if you can believe that,” said frontwoman Chicky.

With their sound occupying the space somewhere between Portishead, Deftones and Sade, the band brought in a group of veteran producers to push themselves creatively on their latest release.

Production team Social Security (Velvet Revolver, ex-Glassjaw) set the tone with the catchy lead track, “Leave Me in Detroit,” featuring an infectious bass line that is both at odds with and a perfect compliment to the dark sounds of the group.

Jon Walker (Assistant Engineer to Arcane Roots & The Heavy) holds up the U.K. end of the E.P. production adding a driving, weighty rhythm to “Descent Into Madness,” and lush scoring to “Debut de La Fin II Sige.”

Elizabeth Heaton of Midas Fall rounds out the production team, providing her mixing skills on “Cavalier” and “She's Got to be a Pirate.”

“Having a team of producers was a big help, as we were able to focus on songwriting and performance, instead of production techniques, while also getting an injection of fresh ideas,” said guitarist Jason Myles.

'Descend' was released March 11, 2013, and limited edition merchandise, and physical copies of the band's back catalog are available at the live shows.
