There’s a restless energy coursing through Babylon, the six-track EP from Pyrenees Love Triangle, that feels both chaotic and carefully controlled. Built from a collision of Madchester-inspired electronica, dance punk urgency, and psychedelic rock textures, the project pushes far beyond the foundations laid on Send Medicine. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Julian Hacquebard sharpens his artistic identity here, crafting a sound that thrives in contradiction; gritty yet hypnotic, expansive yet intimate. The result is an EP that doesn’t simply blend genres, but bends them into something distinctly its own.

Opening track ‘Slithering Fluxus’ immediately immerses listeners in that sonic tension, pairing pulsing basslines with swirling textures and surreal lyricism that feel simultaneously disorienting and magnetic. There’s a subtle physicality to the rhythm section, driven by drum machines but elevated through the warmth of live instrumentation. ‘Elemental Pieces’ follows with a rougher edge, introducing darker tonal shades and a more abrasive atmosphere without sacrificing cohesion. Meanwhile, the title track ‘Babylon’ leans fully into psychedelic experimentation, layering ambient synth work and blurred vocal delivery into a transportive haze. Across the EP, synths move fluidly between repetition and melody, creating a push-and-pull between density and space that keeps every track feeling alive and unpredictable.

By the time closer ‘Flowers Uptown’ arrives, Babylon reveals its emotional core. The production softens without losing complexity, allowing the songwriting to breathe beneath the layered instrumentation. It’s here that Pyrenees Love Triangle’s attention to sonic detail becomes most apparent; every texture feels intentional, every shift in mood carefully placed. Rather than relying on genre fusion as a novelty, Babylon succeeds because of its precision and confidence, presenting a debut that feels immersive, evolved, and fully realised. It’s a record that invites listeners to get lost inside it, only to discover there’s far more structure beneath the haze than first appears.
