Yael Naim – Solar
Yael Naim is doing more than returning with a new album: she is reborn. As if freed from anything that could prevent her, she delivers 12 titles with a deliberately synthetic purity, but which always testify to the passionate organic nature of her academic training.

Michael Monroe – Outerstellar
Delivering his vision of rock 'n' roll in 12 pieces, Michael Monroe casts a wide net to prove himself as powerful as he is relevant. With a wide vocal range, he is sometimes bantering, sometimes screaming, and does not forget his breath when taking the saxophone on “One More Sunrise”. A love letter to hard rock written in electric ink.

Peaches – No Lube So Rude
For his first album in 11 years, Merrill Nisker starts without preliminaries with explicit and provocative texts, where unbridled sexuality is embraced with hammered electro beats as danceable as they are lascivious. Intoxicating and liberating, No Lube So Rude is modern in its approach, while being universal in its message.

Automobile Club – Revolt Means Love
This Automobile Club was born just two years ago. And if the titles are already so mature, it is because of the past of its members in The Animen, Future Faces, Kuma and so many others which today allows them to get to the point directly. And everywhere, raw melodies.

Sports – Sports
The Oklahoma-based duo is back with a new opus which marks a “return” to its origins: a self-produced eponymous record which refocuses its identity and sounds. The result is a fundamentally pop and catchy record, where electronics dominate the arrangements serving choruses that we find ourselves humming along to.

SomElse – At The Right Distance
This new EP from the Bordeaux group questions our relationship to time, to events of the past while having a benevolent, warm look towards the future. Initially planned in long format, this disc reveals its first part in order to better detail and partition its story, through folk-rock infused with Big Thief and Fleet Foxes.

Steven Brown – In This Very World
Steven Brown unveils a new solo album and therefore does not hesitate to take side paths that could throw anyone off, even if it means that the general framework marks a return to more rock considerations. The Tom Waits spirit seems to emerge from time to time, but without the option of force-feeding gravel.

Youn Sun Nah – Lost Pieces
The South Korean singer-songwriter has managed to carve out a unique and, above all, lasting place. His stage performances, always astonishing and captivating, have a lot to do with it but do not explain everything. His ability not to be a slave to a genre and its contours, to “bounce back” on it on the contrary, is a marvel.

Black Sea Dahu – Everything
The Swiss quintet unveils its third studio album, nine new songs drawing on wide-open folk and country. The delicate lap steel of “Ants on the Wall” engages the festivities, taking over a drum set that will remain in support throughout, serving the celestial and major voices.
