about

As many of us already know, the hyper-imaginative sound of experimental pop band Aquaserge takes on an even wilder dimension on stage, and they're viewed as one of today's most exciting live bands. In the wake of last year's acclaimed Laisse ça être album, here's an opportunity to enjoy Aquaserge's tremendous live sound. Déjà-Vous? ('you, already?') was created from recordings made during two shows in 2016 and 2017, for which the band was augmented by the 3-piece horn section which plays with them on specific occasions.

Déjà vous? contains live renditions of eight tracks: four from Laisse ça être, three from the band's previous releases, and an impromptu version of the jazz standard 'My Funny Valentine'. Most songs have been thoroughly rearranged for the occasion, and some of the pieces were used as source material for some interesting editing work, on the B-side of the LP.

In 2017, Aquaserge performed a large number of shows in more than 10 countries. They'll be back this year for more tours around Europe and possibly North America.

Laisse ça être appears in 'Best of 2017' lists in The Quietus, Pulp Lab, Cast The Dice (UK), Libération, Magic, Benzine (FR), Projektor (PL), Radio 1/Wonderland (BE), Musikexpress (DE) & more

Like a cratedigger’s fantasy band, Aquaserge mine a colourful seam of psych-rock, jazz and Afrobeat… recalls the sophisticated middle ground where Tortoise and Stereolab once met. (Uncut, UK) - Aquaserge's sound is global, cosmic and genuinely kaleidoscopic… densely packed with ideas, mathematically precise, boldly anarchic about ignoring borders and boundaries of every kind, and dazzling with joyful weirdness. (The Wire, UK)

about

aquaserge France

Aquaserge’s resolutely polymorphous music draws from sources as diverse as pop, free jazz, psych, noise, experimental rock from the 1960s and 70s (think kraut to Canterbury to ZNR et al), vintage Italian & French film music, all ingested and playfully transmuted into their own, unique, cinematographic sound. ... more

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often. Tim Patterson

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
