New single Bicicleta out today! ---------- Bicicleta is the third single and title track from COLLIGNON’s upcoming album, set to release in February 2025. A melancholic melody paired with an energetic groove instantly captures the exhilaration of gaining speed while pedaling — the wind blowing through your hair, the sun on your face. Cycling is freedom. The album Bicicleta, recorded while Jori left his Portuguese studio for a year-long stay in the Netherlands, pays homage to what -without engine, exhaust or pollution- might be considered the finest emblem of Dutch culture. To paraphrase Nellie Bly (1896): In a frenetic era of expanding possibilities, cycling offers a journey into a landscape of dreams. The bicycle evokes a vehicle of psychic energy and progression (the bicycle doesn’t move in reverse) that is personal rather than collective. The exception, of course, being the ‘tandem’, the old fashioned bicycle built for two, that intimates the movement of a romance propelled forward by the synchronized eros of the couple. Always the bicycle has signified independence and freedom in steering one’s daily course and the byways of its occasional adventures. Bicicleta is an upbeat, straightforward song filled with positivity and the thirst for adventure. It reflects the band’s eagerness to return to clubs and festivals, starting with a performance at Europe’s leading showcase festival, Eurosonic, this January. Accompanying the single is a stunning, hand-drawn animated video created by the talented @vancevice. ---------- Yves Lennertz : guitars Gino Bombrini : drums, percussion, bass Jori Collignon : farfisa Recorded, produced and mixed by Gino, Jori and Yves at Gino’s Studio, Bathmen & @scintillement_studio, Maastricht Drums recorded by Simon Akkermans at @epicrainbowunicornstudio, Rotterdam Mastered by Frederik Dejongh at @jerboamastering Art by @emielsteenhuizen Design by @hgohenriques Video by @vancevice 💥 . . . . . . . . . . #COLLIGNON #GrisGrisRecords #bicicleta #bicicles #opdefiets #Bicicleta #Roadtripmusic #newsingle #release #newmusic #Lisbon #Utrecht #Amsterdam #Portugal #Netherlands #Eurosonic25
