“Pray For Me Tonight” — Anton and Tout Debord Share Video for French Coldwave Confessional “Répression”

Anton, a Parisian post-punk project led by Anton Steinbock, releases ‘Répression’ in collaboration with coldwave artist Tout Debord. The track blends devotion and psychic collapse through pale, eerie guitars reminiscent of Clan of Xymox, deliberate bass, and synths recalling French coldwave touchstones like Asylum Party. Steinbock moves between French and English in a low, echoing delivery that frames religious imagery around obsession and emotional entrapment. The accompanying video by Tout Debord layers performance footage with Catholic iconography, cemeteries, and monuments. Since its 2024 inception, Anton has progressed from solo recordings to a live band with Gabriela Guyez, pivoting between austere post-punk and synth-driven darkwave. ‘Répression’ marks a development from the earlier track ‘Never Freed Myself,’ deepening dramatic intensity.
