Les Bicyclettes Blanches are actually a New York band that formed in Woodstock in 2005.  At first I thought for sure this was German - there is definitely a krautrock groove here.

Listening to this made me think immediately of Snapper, Weeping Icon, Beaches, ADVAETA, and Electrelane.  Most of those (excluding Snapper) are female fronted/vocal bands that rock and groove.

The first three songs are great.  The 2nd half of the album still rocks, but maybe has less of the kraut sound.  This was released back in 2015 by San Diego, California label Bleeding Gold Records.  This label has been around for a while, but it doesn’t look like they’ve released anything since 2018.

"What the HELL!?" Captain Coleen raged into his comm, "HEY, FURFACE! What's the big idea!?"

"You neglected to inform Bin Jaesuk's slave of the mission details, sir."

"Is it just me, or does he sound disapproving?" Agenis muttered. "Of course we- hey, Bwil, he's moving again!"

The Sith stood, slowly craned his head their direction, eye glinting beneath his cowl. A twist of his hand, and the screen went dark.

"Shit, what's he-"

The asteroid field erupted ahead of them as the battle cruiser changed tactics, firing on the largest mass of debris. Rocks flew like shrapnel, gasses combusted. All the viewport was fire and brimstone.

"SHIT, WHAT THE HELL!"

"Breaches and Fire in the hull and following compartments, sir-" J8 began to drone.

---

Advaeta's hands came away from the turret controls, horrified. Something clung to the back of her throat like icy slime, as sharp and prickly as sickly slick. She didn't even have time to let the fear swell or ebb. J8's voice over comms was reporting fires and hull breaches, she needed to get back to engineering and shut down some of the systems before-

Everything stopped. There was nothing but terror. The small space between the turret port and the engine was entirely taken up with shadows and a bone-deep darkness.

"The ship has been caught in the moon's gravitational pull," it snarled deeply. "You can only cover your descent, now."

"I-I can fix it!" She shrilled out. She'd left the lid off the grav motor, under this much strain it would leak and falter, cause other systems to fail, but if she could just close it and-

An iron fist closed around her throat, and the Sith hauled her back to the leaking motor, threw her to her knees beside it. She wanted to claw away, get away, hide. There was no hiding from the Starshot's steady descent.

The grav motor was throwing sparks and arcs, understandable considering. She went to work stabilizing them feverishly, racing time and gravity. Behind her, the whining hiss and hum of the Sith's lightsaber igniting droned in the tight confines. Its red light glowed balefully on the walls, and she did her best not to wonder how close it was to the back of her neck.

"Not helping," she hissed, immediately regretted it. The Sith's rolling chuckle put more fear into her than any raised voice could have.

"You're an insolent cub, arent you?"

Cub? Her hands stopped a moment, began again at his warning rumble. She risked sliding a glance over her shoulder, icy blues meeting bright ambers too much like her own.

"FIX. IT."

She bent back to her task with a start.

---

"She's going to roll!" Agenis warned pensively.

"No she's NOT," Bwillen bit back as they fought with the controls. The Starshot listed as she neared entry, threatened to present her port side to the moon's atmosphere. She wouldn't endure generating that much drag. The captain roared with strain and defiance, putting his all into trying to right his ship.

"We need to get to the eacape pods, J8, unseal those blast doors!"

"Forgive me, ma'am, but-"

"OPEN THEM!"

"WILL YOU BOTH JUST KNOCK. IT. OFF- AAAAH!"

The captain's desperate outrage turned to a scream of relief as the Starshot leveled out.

"Aggie, get on controls! I've still got no lift. We've got one shot at this!"

---

Advaita found herself hauled about again, pushed roughly back to the turret port. Once there, however, the Sith didnt force her to seat. An arm reached tight around her, pulled her in against that suffocating darkness, his hand locked about her opposite arm. He leaned to one side in the doorway, reached his other hand above them, braced himself there.

His young captive could only stare out the viewport, watching the sky smoking in their wake as they fell.

8/21/17.

Weeping Icon are a Brooklyn, New York four-piece.  Apparently, they’re made up of veterans of the “scene”.  The only band I’d heard of was ADVAETA (great album on Fire Talk).  “Eyeball Under” is being co-released by Kanine Records and Fire Talk Records.

This is noisy yet has a definite groove.  Think Snapper (New Zealand) and TV Colours (Australia) combined with the sheer power of Teksti-TV 666 (Finland).

Weeping Icon Interview

Weeping Icon

Weeping Icon is an experimental noise punk band based in Brooklyn, NY. All four members are long-time vets to the DIY Brooklyn music scene (former & current bands ADVAETA, Lutkie, Mantismass, Warcries, Water Temples), and they are breaking new ground with their explosive take on the traditional rock configuration. Their live show is immense and energetic; their addictive combination of searing riffs & rhythms, fearless vocals and thrillingly unexpected sounds – delivered through heaps of hair and controlled feedback – is expertly crafted into an enveloping landscape that doesn’t let up from start to finish. Their debut EP ‘Eyeball Under’ exhibits a gifted band with innovative and striking arrangements, showcasing each member excelling with beguiling aptitude… We talk to the band about primal energy, Russell Westbrook and Jane Goodall…

TSH: How would you describe the band camaraderie and level of concentration when new music is coming together?

Weeping Icon: We completely trust each other to develop parts, but if we’re stuck, we take long walks through the hallways. Our practice space is in an old pharmaceutical building that has been repurposed for just about everything imaginable, and it is completely twisted. Somehow we spend a lot of time in the bathroom talking, playing with construction materials, and generally making trouble.

TSH: For your EP entitled ‘Eyeball Under,’ what sort of lyrical expressions and perspectives do you feel primarily came into play?

Weeping Icon: This EP has a lot to do with primal energy. We are channelling a lot of the confusion and anger from current politics and we feed off each other’s intensity. There are a lot of raw expressions of anger, anxiety, and retaliation.

TSH: ‘Jail Billz’ is a stunning track. Talk us through how the band went about layering and structuring such a concise song…

Weeping Icon: Thanks. It was the first song we wrote, and it kind of set the scene for what we were going to make. Guitar and drums were the first parts written before the full band had formed, and the idea was just to make something loud, fast and physical. The other parts came together naturally from just trying to sustain the intensity and enhance it.

TSH: Moreover, what does a track like ‘Warts’ signify overall?

Weeping Icon: It’s about the impetus to lie and be secretive in protection of one’s own self-image/self-interest, and the private reassuring conversations we have with ourselves that tend to place more value on alleviating anxiety than being considerate of potentially impacted parties.

TSH: At what point in the process do you realise what you’re going to do vocally with the sounds that are being formulated?

Weeping Icon: Usually we improvise shouts, screams and nonsensical words to feel out the song. When the structures are a little bit more refined one of us feels possessed to write lyrics, haha! We all like to sing and write.

TSH: Can it at times be beneficial to not search for a specific statement and simply just embrace what comes out of you?

Weeping Icon: Yeah, I think that has been the process for writing this EP. We didn’t have a specific message, but we had a lot to say, haha. I think right now we are just trying to make something as raw and honest as possible, and usually that means figuring it out as it happens.

TSH: What sort factors do you feel are important to manifest with the band’s live offerings?

Weeping Icon: We try to channel unadulterated puppies. That is only partly a joke. We don’t stop between songs because we want to sustain the energy and for the set to be immersive. The transitions are always improvised so we are concentrating on each other and sensitive to the atmosphere the sound is building. We want people to feel very present.

TSH: In what ways does being immersed within your craft allow you to liberate yourself from stress and anxiety hurdles?

Weeping Icon: The importance of having something that belongs to you - that may be shared with other people, but isn’t made for other people - can’t be underestimated. Everyone should have a section of their lives dedicated to unadulterated self-expression: your tastes, your emotions, whatever gets your blood pumping. It’s the only real freedom you get in a world in which your success is contingent on how well you smile and stand up straight through the shit shower.

TSH: What gets played most on your YouTube binges?

Weeping Icon: Barry White, Bambara, Moon Duo, Kevin Drumm, Eleh, Young Thug. Also, the video for ‘Thunder Thighs’ by Miss Eaves - look it up now!

TSH: What brings about most laughter within the band?

Weeping Icon: Oh, we’re cheeky. We can’t tell you most of them but here are a few: the taxi driver who takes us to shows all the time and falls asleep at every red light. Sometimes we yell at him “hey! ya sleepin?!” and he laughs and keeps driving. Also, the guy who was walking around our practice space in socks that were pulled out several inches beyond his toes organizing piles of papers, and his strange Ikea scarf rack that had cables attached to it with twist ties that ended up in our practice room for several months. We hated it. Who uses twist ties for instrument cables?? Arrrgghhhh! Oh, and playing garbage hockey, with pipes and garbage.

TSH: Are certain members of the band passionate about Russell Westbrook?

Weeping Icon: Russell Westbrook is such a pure basketball player. It’s wildly inspiring to see him put everything out there, and for Oklahoma City of all places. He is absolutely one of my favourite players of all time. This question speaks to me, but the other 3 members were very confused. Haha! (SL).

TSH: Also, how much of a legend is Jane Goodall to you?

Weeping Icon: ALL THE LEGEND! She is the personal hero of two members of this band, one of whom is actually a cousin of hers and the other studied anthro and read all her books. SHE IS A MESSIAH!

TSH: Is The Sopranos one of Sarah’s all-time favourite shows? And what do the others like to watch?

Weeping Icon: Is it surprising that the Sarah who is the die-hard Sopranos fan is the Sarah from New Jersey? Just a tad bit shy of being obsessed with the show - have watched the whole series over a dozen times, cried when James Gandolfini died, hated the ending (mostly because it was ending)... Also, can’t tell if you are psychic or making very good guesses about us with these questions - or maybe you stalked our Facebooks??… I don’t knooooow… Other TV shows we also like are (collectively and separately, depending): Game of Thrones, The Handmaid’s Tale, SpongeBob, Rugrats, Rick & Morty, Sherlock, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Twilight Zone, Curb Your Enthusiasm and John Oliver.

TSH: How do you like to stay positive amidst all the beldam in the world?

Weeping Icon: Band, art, shows, comedy, and maybe the only thing you don’t know already, weed. Hehe. (Sunglasses emoji).

TSH: What’s the Weeping Icon ethos as you venture ahead?

Weeping Icon: WE ARE 4 BLONDE BOYS TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. PLEASE NO UNSOLICITED DICK PICS, THX. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. BYE.
