Laura Misch – Lithic
Faithful to its creator's obsession with all-out sound research, this new album cannot be understood other than as an experiment, for its listener after having been one for her throughout its conception. Sumptuous.

Slift – Fantasia
If the harshness of sound and words – and not only through their expression – are still very present, a desire to take your time to develop your atmospheres seems to be the rule here. A little (a lot) of fantasy in a world of brutes? Bingo!

Haylie Davis – Wandering Star
It was with the Laurel Canyon pop-folk label from the late 60s on the back that Haylie Davis stood out. For now, we will remember a silky first album, discreetly knocking on the door of an Americana which will, without a doubt, know how to welcome it into its fold.

Marco Bartoccioni – BARTOK
Italian multi-instrumentalist as classy as he is talented, Marco Baroccioni decides in his fourth solo album to highlight the lap steel guitar, giving a particular character to his hard blues pieces. He affirms his artistic identity without ever forgetting to incorporate a welcome emotional flame.

Big Special – O’ Joy!
The English duo recovered the leftovers from their last projects and reworked them for this new EP, as the result and culmination of three very productive years. In the end, we would almost have an album worthy of the name.

Tidal Wave – Volume Tree
The Swedish heavy metal band presents a hot new opus, composed of their most urgent and direct work to date. The structures unfold, sometimes beyond six minutes, constructing a defined universe, to the point of a certain exhaustion, let's say it.

Zoh Amba – Eyes Full
Make way for bluesy folk, with tendencies frankly close to Big Thief, but with this extra energy and this enthusiasm for the chorus and the melodies. We come away conquered and curious about what the composer and saxophonist has in store for the future.
