Aquaserge ‘Laisse ça être’

Aquaserge have been a subterranean driving force in the international music scene for years, inspiring and influencing countless musicians and fans. After operating like a kind of nebula, drawing over 60 musicians into their orbit while knitting an extended web of connections and collaborations with the likes of Tame Impala, Stereolab, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Acid Mothers Temple and Aksak Maboul, the band have now distilled down to a strong five-piece core, which is wildly creative in the studio, powerful and exciting on the stage.

Coded messages, automatic writing and danceable grooves peppered with rhythmical and metrical twists, shades of Italian or French film music, a dense political and poetic subtext: such are the ingredients that go into Laisse ça être, the new album by this brilliant experimental pop band.
