Playfully mixing and deconstructing various genres to create its own sonic world, the seminal band hasn’t stopped changing shape and form throughout its existence (the only permanent member being its initiator, Crammed Discs boss Marc Hollander). Aksak Maboul now revolves around Hollander & Véronique Vincent. After a long gap, they’ve written & recorded a brand-new double LP, 'Figures' (out in 2020). Hollander founded Aksak Maboul in 1977 with Vincent Kenis. Each of the band’s albums is stylistically different from the others, yet they all share common aesthetic and musical foundations. Released in 1977 and 1980, the band’s first two albums ('Onze danses pour combattre la migraine'and 'Un peu de l’âme des bandits') are avant-garde classics, a status reconfirmed by the reactions to their recent vinyl reissues. After these inaugural releases, Hollander devoted himself to his Crammed Discs label, and resumed his activities as a musician in 2014, with the release of 'Ex-Futur Album', the 3rd, ‘lost’ Aksak Maboul album, written & recorded with Véronique Vincent thirty years earlier. A new incarnation of the band then took back to the stage, and recorded the acclaimed ‘Figures’. Aksak Maboul's fifth album is entitled 'Une Aventure de VV (Songspiel)'. Described as an ‘experimental audio play’, it came out in March 2023, as part of the Made To Measure series.
