Inspired by the universes of Paul Motian and Jakob Bro, and firtsly thought as a symetrical sextet, with two guitars and two saxophones, the band evolved into a quintet with only one saxophone, working in a more and more horizontal way, melting a soft, dense, reverbered sound with the thinness of a collective and improvised counterpoint around themes and chord progressions which are slowly deconstructed, and echoed with folk, pop and free-jazz.
After having self-edited and self-released a first e.p. in 2019, the band is about to release their first album, « Alcali », on 16th September 2022. It will gather compositions taken from two periods: three in sextet, rescued from a repertory wich was put aside during the covid crisis, and nine in quintet, recorded in their newest form at the end of the summer 2021. The desire was to preserve the freshness of the music, not to keep on playing same things for a long time, to stay in the same movement as the one that leads the compositions by Arthur Delaleu as well as those by the other musicians: snapshots, vague songs which find their meanings directly at the first reading, barely learned, almost dislocated.
