about

The new single off the legendary experimental pop band’s acclaimed double album 'Figures' comes out in the shape of an EP containing four very diverse remixes and a radio edit.

Brownswood artist Hello Skinny (aka Tom Skinner, also known for his work with Sons of Kemet) contributes an elegant rework with spectacular drum programming.

'Eyelids and Phosphenes' is a reconstruction by Aksak Maboul, which starts off as a remix and morphs into a totally wild new piece, with newly recorded vocals, keys and horns

Nihiloxica’s Spooky-J comes up with a sweet, intriguing minimal rework

Chicago house veteran Jordan Fields and Aksak Maboul’s Marc Hollander do a transatlantic collab for a fresh, bouncing old school take on the tune

Vocalist Véronique Vincent’s enigmatic lyrics for Un Caïd (“A Bigshot”) seem to reference a famous poet, maybe the bossy leader of an artistic movement born a century ago? But they’re mostly about thought, stares, eyes and eyelids. That much will be apparent in the music video directed by animator/collagist Yoann Stehr (who was also behind Aksak Maboul’s 'Tout a une fin' video).

about

Aksak Maboul Brussels, Belgium

The seminal, shapeshifting band came back to life after a 30-year gap, and now revolves around founder (& Crammed Discs boss) Marc Hollander & Véronique Vincent who, with a new line-up, have recorded and released an acclaimed brand-new double LP: 'Figures' (2020). AM was founded in 1977 by Hollander with Vincent Kenis, and the band’s first 2 LPs are avant-garde classics. ... more

With the publication of Marcus O'Dair's new Robert Wyatt biography,now seems to be the perfect time to revisit these wonderful 'Machine Molle' recordings...Wyatt in his pataphysical prime (maybe,perhaps,possibly). Whimsical nonsense and wonderful musicianship combine in the quintessence of 'Englishness'...tiddly pom! John Cratchley
