‘La Fin de l’économie’ is Aquaserge’s most overtly political album, colliding with present-day’s most acute intranquillity and revolt, in a jump over the flames (says rock magazine Magic)

The band reinvent themselves once again, balancing pop fluidity, electric tensions, and poetry connected to social facts and essential struggles. (Les Inrockuptibles)

The album enthralls us with twelve compositions full of inventiveness and melodic clarity. (Le Monde)

It’s a shimmering palette, bubbling from start to finish with a multi-faceted creative fever. The band are having more fun than ever with words and styles. And so are we. (Libération)

release date: 03.03.2023 on Crammed Discs, Made to Measure Vol.48 

In the wake of their acclaimed comeback album Figures (2020), Aksak Maboul took a playful sideways step to create this total work, a 63-minute, conti- nuous suite of fifteen pieces, which could be described as an experimental audio play.The thread running through Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) is Véronique Vincent’s text, an enigmatic philosophical-poetical tale unfolding through monologues and dialogues, spoken and sung by a series of characters. The music was written & arranged by Marc Hollander and features his characteristic genre-hopping tendencies: strands of electronica, pop, jazz, collage, techno, ambient, improv, krautrock, contemporary classical & systems music are merrily woven together, in the inimitable Aksak Maboul style.

Always ready to expand their scope and blur the genre borders, the inventive, revered French avant-rock band Aquaserge have decided to tackle the field of contemporary classical music from the mid-20th century, in a special project which pays tribute to four major atypical figures: Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988), György Ligeti (1923-2006), Edgard Varèse (1883-1965) and Morton Feldman (1926-1987).
