UK post hardcore outfit Chalk Hands continue to build anticipation for their forthcoming second full length, The Line That Shapes the Coast of Us, arriving March 27th, 2026 via Dog Knights Productions, with the release of their emotionally charged new single and accompanying music video, Pauvre De Moi.
Pauvre De Moi sees Chalk Hands delivering one of their most intense and confrontational offerings to date. Delivered entirely in French, the track introduces a strong sense of vulnerability and intimacy that amplifies the band’s already powerful approach to melodic post hardcore.
The song reads like a meditation on defeatism and the dangerous coil of self-exploration. Its thematic weight is mirrored in the song’s relentless escalation, as Chalk Hands channel existential dread into something devastating and quite affecting.
With Pauvre De Moi, Chalk Hands offer another glimpse into what promises to be an expansive chapter in their evolution.
