A Long Way Down is a 2024 blast from Belgian duo Le Prince Harry, a record that treats garage rock, synth-punk and damaged pop as one volatile machine. By this point in their run, the group know exactly how to make cheap electricity feel like a virtue: drum-machine pressure, clipped slogans, buzzing keyboards, fuzzed guitar and vocals that sound as if they are being thrown down a stairwell with a grin. Sea of Trees opens with a darker sweep before This Is Zip Pop makes the title feel like an operating principle; A Long Way from the Top turns anti-glamour into a chant; Le Hachoir De Judas and La Banane Du Vide keep the bilingual absurdity sharp; Blow closes the tracklist with no interest in over-explaining itself. The album's charm is its refusal to become respectable. It wants speed, friction and mischief.
A Long Way Down matters because it keeps the European underground version of synth-punk alive: minimal gear, maximal attitude, songs that feel both stupidly immediate and carefully wired. In 2024, Le Prince Harry sound less nostalgic than stubbornly committed to noisy pleasure.
This is for collectors who like punk records that use electronics as irritants rather than polish. It belongs near garage-synth, budget electro-punk and off-kilter French-language rock, especially when the shelf needs something fast, unruly and knowingly ridiculous.
Belgian synth-punk with fuzz guitar, drum-machine shove, buzzing keys, bilingual chants, garage-rock impatience and abrasive comic energy.
Recommended for: Fans of raw synth-punk and garage electronics; Collectors of Belgian and French-language underground rock; Listeners who want short, noisy records with attitude and humour.
