Carpenter Brut – releases the new single ‘The Misfits The Rebels’

Carpenter Brut has released his new single ‘The Misfits The Rebels’, the latest song to be taken from his forthcoming album Leather Temple out February 27th via No Quarter Prod / Virgin Records.
 
Leather Temple is the third and final album in the Leather trilogy from the French synthwave icon. It shoots the Leather story forward into 2077 where the world lies in ruins.
 
‘The Misfits The Rebels’ is a propulsive track blending drum & bass beats, electro synths and heavy riffs. It details the uprising of the Horde, a rebel group and high-tech scavenger collective led by Lita Connor. Alongside the longstanding Leather anti-hero Bret Halford, they launch a series of attacks on the City of Light and make their escape on motorcycles through glittering avenues played out under the crossfire of security forces.
 
‘The Misfits The Rebels’ follows the release of the lead single and title track at the end of last year. ‘Leather Temple’ introduced Midwichpolis, a post-apocalyptic city risen from nuclear fallout which is the beating heart of the forthcoming album.

Eighty-five years after a nuclear explosion devastated everything, humanity survives under the rule of a transhuman elite – the Overlords – who live in neon-lit cities, while the rest of the population struggles to survive among the wreckage.
 
At the heart of this dystopia stands Midwichpolis, the nation’s capital, governed with an iron fist by Iron Tusk, a paranoid tyrant, addicted to Pink Base, a synthetic drug, and obsessed with immortality. At the other side of the nation is the Midwichslums, and here reside the Horde, within the Midwichslums a forgotten cold room is buried in the ruins. Inside lies Bret Halford, a.k.a. Leather Teeth, a nightmare from the past.
 
Determined to bring down the regime, Lita transforms him into a living weapon. Upgraded with advanced tech, now half-man, half-machine, Bret becomes the unlikely ally of a rebellion in search of justice.
