Five years after the enigmatic Phylax Society, the ever sonic wanderer Sutja Gutierrez returns with Asystole Flatline, a new full-length odyssey to be released this fall 2025 on Lumière Noire Records.
“Oh father, where are you going father? O do not walk so fast! Speak father, speak to your little boy! Or else I shall be lost” — William Blake, 1789 Asystole Flatline, an album shaped between studios in Barcelona in a process as tactile as it was instinctive, explores naked masculine vulnerability and the complex emotions that surround the irrationality behind every heartbreak with raw honesty. There’s a certain violence woven throughout the album, an energy that emerges from the frustration of the fatherless man—insecure, searching through different relationships for something unnamed.
The work unfolds in dreamlike scenes with unexpected turns, revealing voices that range from raw and saturated to gentle whispers. Gutierrez delivers a work that slips between worlds — part reverie, part vertigo — haunting the threshold between what's ending and what's yet to come. With Asystole Flatline, Lumière Noire reaffirms its commitment to fearless, genre-defying voices that challenge conventional boundaries. This journey will take on a new life on stage this autumn with a rare live performance at Pitchfork Music Festival Paris, part of a Lumière Noire showcase night curated by Chloé. Digital and vinyl releases of Asystole Flatline are scheduled for October 2025, with further live performances to follow.
