Alice

Châteaux Faibles

    Alice is a vocal harmony trio made up of three persons, joined by a cheap synth and limited virtuosity. Together, they craft a kind of future folklore that’s part funny, part apocalyptic — half-soft, half-harsh, half-sad, half-simple, half-complex, half-controlled, half-Yvonne Harder, half-Sarah André, half-Lisa Harder.

    Since their last album 'L’Oiseau Magnifique', Alice have spent time on the road — in cars, in trains, out in the open. Accustomed to writing outdoors, they slowly stitched together a collection of new songs. After two years of performing in clubs, bars, stairwells, carpentry workshops, activist agricultural fairs and roadside shoulders, they took their 'Oiseau Magnifique' just about everywhere. It felt like time to sew these new pieces together — a quilt of humour and soft words, something we could really use in these half-sweet, half-fascist times.

    'Les Châteaux Faibles' is the name of one of their latest songs, and naturally, the title of their new album. It captures the group’s ethos perfectly — a search for refuge in fragility, in a weakness that’s better when shared. A collective sensitivity to bring us closer, stronger — united in our 'Châteaux Faibles'.

    Blanco Teta

    La Debacle De Las Divas

      The Argentinian punk-noise-queer combo Blanco Teta is back with a new album from the underground scene of Buenos Aires !!! 'La debacle de las divas' is a raw, satiric and emotional album about capitalism’s obsession with youth, and the burnout of always having to keep yourself “new.” It dives into the sounds of pop and rock, noise, no wave and even metal and grunge, and it´s a record for the working-class divas, the Flixbus divas—too broke, too tired, too late, but still loud.

      Recorded live in one room, no overdubs, no edits—just the urgent chaos of cables, bodies and feedback. It’s danceable, glitchy, and full of heartache and rage. Fuck meritocracy. Fuck techno-feudalism. This is survival music for the ones paying subscriptions to platforms that censor them. La debacle de las divas is a shelter and also a call to arms for outdated divas.

      Madalitso Band

      Ma Gitala

        For their third album on Bongo Joe, Madalitso Band takes a new direction.

        After two records capturing the raw intensity of their live performances, the Malawian duo ventures for the first time into the possibilities of the studio — without ever compromising their signature style or energy.

        Armed with their handmade babatone, a guitar, and their interwoven voices, Yobu and Yosefe craft a sound at the crossroads of banjo music, kwela, gospel, and African folk. An acoustic trance that’s both minimal and vibrant, deeply rooted in tradition yet undeniably fresh and contemporary. On 'Ma Gitala', they add new textures: layered vocals, playful percussion, melodic surprises, and guests from their close and family circles.

        Always guided by instinct, the band reveals a more intimate and narrative side of their universe — full of memories, spontaneity, and close-knit complicity. An album that captures the joy and creativity of two artists who turned the street into a stage, and the stage into a playground.

          Ndox Electrique

          Tëd Ak Mame Coumba Lamba Ak Mame Coumba Mbang

            Ndox Electrique results from the collaboration between François R. Cambuzat, Gianna Greco (also known for their work with Ifriqiyya Electrique), and the n'doëp community in Senegal. The project originated from the duo's quest to trace the origins of North African rituals, which led them to the Lebu community in Cap-Vert, an isolated region at Africa's westernmost point.

            The album seamlessly blends the duo's electronically-infused avant-rock with the intense, ritualistic vocal chants and rhythmic percussion of the n'doëp community. It serves as a captivating bridge between these two musical worlds, capturing the essence of this cross-cultural collaboration.

            The text also highlights the challenges of merging Western rock and experimental influences with the sensibilities of their Senegalese collaborators, ultimately resulting in a unique and powerful musical experience. "Ndox Electrique" transcends cultural boundaries, immersing listeners in the enchanting sounds and mystical narratives of Western Africa.
