Thomas Bangalter’s “Le Minotaure” is a rollercoaster of cinematic, ominous and tense melodies.
Thomas Bangalter took the music world by storm in January upon the announcement he’d be embarking on a solo album almost two years after the surprising breakup of Daft Punk.
Now, “Le Minotaure” marks the legendary artist’s second single from the forthcoming album, Mythologies, which in a broader context is designed to pay homage to the “historical past of orchestral ballet music in a gesture that’s each private and collaborative.”

Nobody has ever denied Bangalter’s means to construct expansive sonic worlds brimming with character, and a composition like “Le Minotaure” serves as no higher testomony.
The symphonic association crawls to life with rumbling horns and anxious strings in a motion that’s thick with stress and suspense all through. The monitor is a punchy distinction to the album’s languid lead single, “L’Accouchement,” although the 2 embrace synergistically ominous tones.
Thomas Bangalter’s full Mythologies album is due out on April seventh and followers can pre-save the album right here. Take a take heed to “Le Minotaure” under.
