Autist – Les Fleurs du Mal
French sound provocateur Autist delivers a daring exploration of the bleak, the beautiful, and the brutally honest. This release on Spirit of Progress captures Autist at his most uncompromising: “Chaotic Harmony” opens the EP with slow-burning, rhythmic noise mechanics – abrasive, obsessive, and physically demanding. It’s a confrontation of inner architecture, channeling themes of neurodiversity through sheer sonic repetition and tension. “You Lied to Me” then turns inward, a ghostly soundscape scarred by acidic pulses. Space carved out not for comfort, but for dissection. Finally, the title track “Les Fleurs du Mal” fuses both extremes: a grey zone where pain meets clarity, where acid corrodes and rhythmic echoes haunt the space in between
