For the two twenty-seven year olds this is the first song released a year and a half after the EP It may not matterreleased in November 2024. A time openly spent looking around, composing and writing the material that will mark the new phase of the project in the coming months.
French Saints, “Guerrilla”: the meaning of the new single
The choice of Guerrilla as the first song of the new chapter it is not accidental. They are the same French Saints to explain the meaning of the piece:
“The question is always the same. A human reaction that increases the pulse and makes us alert: fight or run away. Do you fight or run away? Rule No. 20 of the revolution: once a rebel, you're always a rebel. So for us 'Guerrilla' is yet another attempt to look for companions, for fire, in what seems like a cold place. Companions to fight with, in silence, in the woods, all full of love like a band of irregulars.”
On the sound level, Guerrilla it is a more rock piece than the previous ones, not only because of the arrangements, but above all because of its intention and approach. Alexander And Mario they shift their writing towards a more direct, more mature posture, with an expressive freedom that has remained the duo's identifying trait since their debut.
