The Limiñanas, the French duo known for their intoxicating mix of psychedelic rock, garage fuzz, and cinematic storytelling, are back with Faded, their first full-length album since 2021’s De Pelicula, their acclaimed collaboration with electronic music legend Laurent Garnier. This time, Lionel and Marie Limiñana double down on their signature hypnotic grooves and moody atmospheres while bringing in a cast of heavyweight collaborators to push their sound into fresh territory.

Leading the charge is "Prisoner of Beauty," the album’s first single, which features Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, a longtime admirer of the band. Gillespie’s unmistakable presence adds a layer of dark swagger to the track, reinforcing the Limiñanas’ reputation for crafting music that feels both retro and forward-thinking. But he’s not the only guest lending their talents to Faded. The duo has assembled an impressive lineup of artists for duets, including the ever-electrifying Jon Spencer, French singer-songwriter Bertrand Belin, indie pop artist Rover, and the ethereal voices of Penny and Anna Jean. They also reunite with avant-garde composer Pascal Comelade, whose work has long shared a kindred spirit with their cinematic, left-field approach.

Over the years, the Limiñanas have built a cult following by fusing their love of ‘60s garage rock, Serge Gainsbourg-style French pop, Ennio Morricone’s widescreen film scores, and post-punk minimalism. Their music has always felt like the perfect soundtrack for a vintage European road trip, full of mystery, romance, and danger. Faded continues that tradition while refining their sound, embracing new textures, and amplifying their knack for collaborations that feel both unexpected and perfectly fitting.

For fans who’ve followed the Limiñanas from their breakthrough albums Malamore and Shadow People to their more experimental detours with Garnier, Faded promises to be another essential addition to their ever-evolving musical journey.
