“One Blood Circle (Live at Beaubourg)” by The Limiñanas

The Limiñanas recently announced their first-ever North American tour, with stops in Mexico, Canada and the United States. The Limiñanas will be celebrating their discography with the release of their very first live album, Live at Beaubourg, due out on June 19, 2026.

Recorded at the Centre Pompidou, this album brings together The Limiñanas’ garage-psych sound and the visual world of the contemporary artist SMITH. Conceived to match the architecture and energy of Because Beaubourg—where the label transforms the museum into a playground with performances, carte blanche events, and DJ sets from artists like Thomas Bangalter and Fred Again—The Limiñanas deliver one of the highlights of the weekend. Live at Beaubourg stands as its only recording, conceived as a documentary record rather than a simple live “best of.”

The meeting between The Limiñanas and SMITH dates back to 2024, during Normandie Impressionniste, where the festival director Philippe Platel had the inspiration to bring the artists together. “I had already been listening to The Limiñanas for a long time, so I was delighted,” he says. At the time, The Limiñanas were refining their album Faded, dedicated to actresses from Hollywood’s golden age who have since passed away, and this resonated with SMITH’s work, which often uses thermal cameras: “what the camera sees is not the body but the heat it gives off, a kind of aura left behind before it disappears. That’s exactly what Faded is about: bringing these ghosts back through music.”

This collaboration naturally continued on October 24, 2025, during Because Beaubourg at the Centre Pompidou, where they imagined a total performance together. The album Live at Beaubourg captures this hypnotic trance across 8 tracks in a continuous flow. No interruptions, with certain notes sustained throughout in the spirit of major performances from the 1970s. Accompanied by five musicians and their longtime collaborator Pascal Comelade, the band revisits its repertoire.

“What I love about live shows is achieving a kind of trance naturally through the performance. We had agreed there would be no interruption in the sound, with a ceremonial aspect as well, since we were closing Beaubourg before renovations,” says guitarist Lionel Limiñana.
