Return or rebirth for the band Mule Jenny! After composing and recording a remarkable debut album on its own (All These Songs Of Love And Death, 2021) under this enigmatic name, Etienne Gaillochet (drummer and singer with We Insist!) was soon joined by accomplices Max Roy and Théo Guéneau from Lysistrata. Together, they first developed a repertoire designed for live performance, then soon began working on new songs together, in a radically different form. 

The trio's new album, due for release in September, will have the virtues of live performance, spontaneity and dynamics. The music is still complex, full of math-rock twists and hairpin turns, but the vocal lines guide it in a more melodic, heady direction. "Outsiders", the unstoppable first single with its galloping bass, is available now (streaming link).
 

NEW ALBUM

Release day for Reservoir of Love, the wonderful new album by american songwriter Shannon Wright! Embodying the essence of her unique style, it delivers songs where intensity is sometimes embodied in electric rock blazes, sometimes in heart-rending ballads, adorned with choirs and strings, the warm sound of a Wurlitzer, a guitar or a piano. Haunted by illness and bereavement, produced in solitude, this album is bursting with energy, light and love.

'Reservoir of Love is without doubt Shannon Wright's most complete and accomplished album'
THE INROCKS

'This album, perfectly thought out and calibrated, is like a masterpiece that few are capable of producing'
EXIT MUSIK

'Her best album to date?'

A double comeback for Chokebore's Hawaiian frontman Troy Von Balthazar, who follows up the reissue of the iconic Black Black with a soothing seventh solo album. Recorded over the course of 2024 in autarky, in his Angoulême home studio, Aloha Means Goodbye is the modest, alleviating work of an artist who has rebuilt himself through his art. Often more acoustic than electric, wandering between light and shadow, these twelve tracks are adorned with melancholy trappings but exude a comforting warmth, like a balm for flayed souls. Listen to the first single here, or in video below.
