About Carpenter Brut
Carpenter Brut is a synthwave artist from Poitiers, France.
Carpenter Brut is the project of French producer Franck Hueso, who works from Poitiers and for years kept his face largely out of the press. His first three EPs, released in the early 2010s, were later collected as 'Trilogy', and his music reached a wider audience through the 'Hotline Miami' video game soundtracks.
The albums 'Leather Teeth' (2018) and 'Leather Terror' (2022) follow a fictional storyline about a character named Bret Halford, drawing on glam metal and slasher-film imagery. Pounding drum machines and distorted synth bass carry most of the tracks, with occasional guest vocalists stepping in.
