Launched on February 28, ‘Corpus Christi’ is the brand new single from Los Angeles artist, Le Concorde.
The stage identify of Stephen Becker, ‘Corpus Christi’ marks the top of a 15 12 months hiatus for Le Concorde, whose earlier releases, one out on March Information and the opposite by way of Le Grand Magistery, have been acquired to a lot acclaim, so one imagines his return will excite many who’ve lamented his time away.
‘Corpus Christi’ comes forward of Le Concorde’s new album, ‘Second Mansions’, which is about for launch this September. The album boasts a supporting solid of the elite from the mid 80s, and consequently appears like one thing that might simply have been a rediscovered album from that point.
‘Corpus Christi’ immediately has an 80s vibe proper out of the gate. The instrumentals are fabulously retro, and Becker’s voice is simply so deliciously nostalgic; virtually like a cross between Bowie, Trevor Horn, and possibly a pinch or two of Lindsey Buckingham. Beautiful! The monitor options backing vocals by Doris Brendel, drums and percussion by Ash Soan, bass from Vinzenz Benjamin, whereas Roger Manning Jr and Becker present keyboards, and is accompanied by a suitably pixelated music video, set in an 80s online game.
That is the place nostalgia meets modern-day. The video is devoted to Carlos Acutis, an online designer who devoted his life to an internet site he created, which was devoted to cataloguing every reported Eucharistic miracle on this planet and sustaining an inventory of the accepted Marian apparitions of the Catholic Church. He died from leukemia in 2006, aged simply 15, mere days after the launch of his web site, and, in an unimaginable twist, there have been at the very least two miracles attributed to the intercession of Acutis, and he’s set for canonisation on April 27 this 12 months.
The video is a stylised telling of Acutis’s life and demise, exhibiting his ascent to heaven to satisfy Jesus, who is actually the ultimate Boss.
Whereas this may occasionally all appear very disconnected, ‘Corpus Christi’ was initially conceived as a contribution to a movie about Eucharistic miracles, so it’s becoming, but it’s nonetheless fairly a wonderful monitor when thought of other than this.
