JE T’AIME: for these few letters, some live, some go mad, but above all, many die. Live until you

go mad, live until you die – that’s the credo of the cold-wave trio whose spirited spleen sprang

from the muggy basements of Parisian nightlife in 2018. While the classic post-punk and new

wave influences are obviously there, the driving rain that falls on these three anti-heroes is tinged

with the flashing colors of neon lights and their artificial heat. JE T’AIME stirs up your guts as

much as your behinds, and blows the codes with a jubilant, touching snarl.

After a self-titled debut album (2019, Manic Depression/Icy Cold), the band signed the diptych

PASSIVE/AGGRESSIVE in 2022, choosing Valentine’s Day and All Souls‘ Day to release both

parts. In the few years of its existence, JE T’AIME has rocked audiences at Belgium’s W-Fest,

Poland’s Castle Party, England’s Infest Festival, Portugal’s Extramuralhas and Germany’s

Wave Gotik Treffen…

If Europe has to learn a few French words, it might as well be „JE T’AIME“.

In 2024, JE T’AIME is six years old. Their new album, Useless Boy, is an expressionist cry, a

sad party where the melancholic thrill is always hidden behind illusory comforts. More than ever,

it’s a flight into the future, a rejection of the dreary conventions of the real world. JE T’AIME

locks itself away in its own intimate universe to avoid confronting dull, tasteless normality.

Sorrows are sublimated by the all-consuming energy of a trio for whom maturing rhymes with

dying, skilfully juggling nostalgia and modernity.
