Coded messages, anadiplosis and automatic writing, dance music grooves peppered with rhythmical & metrical twists, shades of Italian or French film music, a dense political & poetic subtext: such are the ingredients of Laisse ?a ?tre, the new album by brilliant experimental pop band AQUASERGE. Aquaserge has been a subterranean driving force in the international music scene, inspiring and influencing countless musicians & fans. Originally based in a farmhouse-cum-recording studio in the countryside near Toulouse, France, they operated for several years like a kind of nebula, a shifting aggregate drawing over 60 musicians in its orbit, while knitting an extended web of connections by collaborating with the likes of Tame Impala, Stereolab, Melodys Echo Chamber, Acid Mothers Temple and Aksak Maboul, the band has now distilled down to a strong 5-piece core, which is wildly creative in the studio, powerful and exciting on the stage.
