lespecial is redefining the term “power trio”. The three multi-instrumentalists from Connecticut continue to command attention from music critics and fans alike through their national tours highlighted by fierce musicianship, creative showmanship and an engaging live show that leaves audiences exhilarated and hungry for more. lespecial’s signature blend of “heavy future groove” combines head-banging prog-rock riffage with bone-rattling 808s (i.e. electric drum samples inspired by old school hip hop) and sub synths. Listeners are invited on a journey to the musical netherworld through esoteric soundscapes punctuated by raw, primal energy/power.
The band’s latest album, “Ancient Homies”, released to critical acclaim on Ropeadope Records at the end of 2020, finds them at a new sonic level. They have hit the apex of potential for a band that has played together since high school and continues to push the boundaries of what a trio can do both in a live setting and in the studio. Considering they have found a comfort zone playing majestic venues such as Red Rocks, seeing them at a venue as intimate as the Crazy Horse will be an experience people talk about for years to come.
