Our Take

Belgian avant-garde pop outfit Aksak Maboul return with their latest offering, 'Figures'. Combining elements of post-punk, electronic, and world music, this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

Opening track "Midi à Minuit" sets the tone with its pulsating beats and ethereal vocals, drawing listeners in with its infectious energy. The band's eclectic influences shine through on tracks like "Ghost Rider" and "Cold Song", where jarring rhythms and unexpected twists keep listeners on their toes.

Lead vocalist Veronique Vincent's haunting vocals take center stage on tracks like "Silent Silhouettes" and "Palindrome", showcasing her impressive range and emotive delivery. The band's sonic experimentation is on full display, with layers of synths, guitars, and percussion creating a rich tapestry of sound.

Standout track "Disque Vert" is a perfect example of Aksak Maboul's ability to seamlessly blend genres, with its frenetic energy and off-kilter melodies leaving a lasting impression.

Overall, 'Figures' is a bold and dynamic statement from a band unafraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic landscapes. Aksak Maboul have crafted an album that is as unpredictable as it is captivating, cementing their status as true innovators in the world of experimental music. Highly recommended for fans of genre-defying music that challenges the status quo.
