Introducing HANRY: Debut Album Announcement and First Single Release
French post-rock collective HANRY is set to unveil their highly anticipated debut album, What Came From Silence, on May 29th via Pelagic Records. This album represents a pivotal moment in the band’s journey, showcasing their transformation into a force of expansive and emotive music. Alongside this exciting announcement, HANRY has released their first single, “Aurora,” offering fans a sneak peek into the immersive soundscapes that await.
“Aurora,” described by the band as both dark and tense, oscillates between heavy shadowed sections and brighter, radiant moments. The track, originally composed a decade ago by member Anthony Leliard, has evolved through collective effort to become a standout piece on the upcoming album. The music ebbs and flows hypnotically, culminating in an explosive release that promises to carry listeners toward new horizons. Fans can watch the music video for “Aurora” now.
Their debut album, What Came From Silence, features eight intricately woven tracks, meticulously crafted during a tumultuous winter in Brittany. The album encapsulates an atmosphere of tension and introspection, employing a rich tapestry of sound that juxtaposes fragile ambient passages with emotionally charged crescendos. As HANRY delves deeper into their sonic contrasts, they paint a vivid musical landscape that invites complete immersion.
Emphasizing their cinematic vision, the band’s core members—Leliard on bass and guitar, Marc Mifune on keys, and Jean-Anaël Aubaux on guitar—have created a continuous experience designed to be interpreted in multiple ways by the listener. The production, which took place at DiscoCasino Studio, allowed the band to maintain control over the album’s identity, ensuring that every layer of sound resonates clearly.
The album’s closing track, “Phantom Rush,” features a notable collaboration with pianist Mariposa, adding emotional depth and complexity to the overall listening experience. The visual artwork for What Came From Silence, designed by French artist Aloïs Lecerf, reflects the tension between stillness and eruption that permeates the music itself.
HANRY has quickly developed a reputation for their atmospheric compositions that balance serene moments with powerful crescendos. Their recent live performances, including a notable session with KEXP and a broadcast at the Trans Musicales festival, signal their growing international momentum, setting the stage for the album’s release.
Fans can catch HANRY live at Pelagic Fest in August, with more tour dates to follow. As they prepare to launch their debut album, the band is excited to invite listeners on a journey through their carefully constructed world, where texture and atmosphere carry as much significance as the climactic peaks of their sound. Pre-orders for What Came From Silence are available now.
