Indochine’s roots stretch all the way back to the early ’80s, where their buoyant New Wave mixture of guitars and synths put them at odds with the world. Their resilience and passion have yet to dwindle in the decades since and some would say 2009’s La république des meteors was more than just their well-deserved victory lap, but their finest, most direct album yet. Black City Parade is here to sweep aside any comparisons. This is a deeply felt, muscular album that fuses the band’s decades of experience with strong, empowered songwriting. New tracks like “Memoria” and “Belfast” offer sweeping takes on modern life with a steel-eyed gaze.
