out on 24.05.2024 on Crammed Discs

‘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)

[ October 20th, 2023 release on Cassiar Records: Josh Cole – KIND MIND ]

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

release date: 20.10.2023 on Cassiar Records

“Each track stretches across several minutes, but the experience they create is one of a fractured, or fragmented, forum of ideas—motifs come and go, each with their own sense of internal coherence[…] Every so often, the trio fnds union in a shared melody or brief glimpses of consonance. But these moments are feeting, and the ensemble’s search is ongoing—they keep turning over stones, exposing wriggling bits of life.” — Brennan McCracken, Musicworks

“I like the trio’s unique musical vision, its tender and determined sound and the way it is delivered: with quality and precision. To create your own voice in the crowded musical environment of today is a feat.” — Stef Gijssels, Free Jazz Blog
“Phrases often seem deliberately tentative, and exclamations sometimes evaporate into question marks […] The group’s use of space allows for their improvisations to possess distinctive shape and structure, so that when Kind Mind goes full throttle the element of surprise is on their side.” — Yoshi Maclear Wall, The WholeNote
