Jaune Toujours

Jaune Toujours is back and better than ever! Since the mid-1990s, this Belgo-Brussels collective has been serving up a blistering mix of grooves, horns, and accordion. With the energy of a rock band (without guitars!), the improvisational flair of a jazz combo, the adventurous spirit of musical explorers, and the charisma of street performers, they deliver poetic and poignant reflections on society. Add a touch of typical Brussels self-mockery, and you’ve got the recipe for a party like no other.

Biography

Autumn 2024, Jaune Toujours release their highly anticipated new album *Vertigo*. The album continues the band's tradition of breaking boundaries - be it linguistic or musical - with lyrics in English, French, and Dutch, catchy songs, a punk attitude, drum & brass, accordion dub, and Belgian ska. On *Vertigo* the band pushes even further in their sonic adventure: the accordion is frequently run through effects pedals (ranging from organ sounds to wah-wah and delay), occasionally, a mini-Korg or piano make an appearance, the double bass regularly dives into distortion, occasionally switching to electric bass, while the drums juggle snares and various percussion elements with glee. The horns are richly layered, and the vocals are intricately produced, featuring rich backing vocals and tracks.

The lyrics on *Vertigo* provide a snapshot of the world, a world so vast it makes you dizzy (hence: Vertigo). Many things are going wrong: climate issues, social inequality, oppression, the dominance of image and discourse, the rise of the far right, wars… But if there is anything that can bring hope, let it be music! The songs on *Vertigo* aim to keep spirits up, to persevere, to make the right choices, to turn values into actions, and to make the world a better place. It seems almost impossible, but once we start, there's no stopping us!

*Vertigo* was recorded at Choux de Bruxelles in Jaune Toujours' rehearsal space and mixed at Studio Planet by Jules Fradet, known for his work with Belgian rappers like Damso, Caballero & Jeanjass, Roméo Elvis, La Smala, and Baloji. Choux de Bruxelles has collaborated with him before on other productions, including Mec Yek's album *SuperDiverCity*. *Vertigo* was co-produced by Jules Fradet and Jaune Toujours' frontman, Piet Maris.

Jaune Toujours invites you to join them on a musical journey where borders between genres are crossed, and rules are rewritten. *Vertigo* is more than just an album—it’s a statement, an invitation to see the world differently, with the same open-mindedness that has defined the band since the 1990s.

Biography

Here's a cult band that, with its explosive, urban mix of music genres, rhythms, languages and cultures evolved to a high quality brand, appreciated by both the international press and audiences all over. Add to that the typically Belgian pinch of self-derision and understatement and the result is a band with the energy of Rock (without guitars!), the improvised twist of Jazz, the open-minded approach of World Music and the eagerness of a street band!

JAUNE TOUJOURS’ sound is so natural that it's deceptive and at first might give the casual listener the impression of simplicity, when it's really their musicianship and the particular humanist angle from which they approach cross cultural composing, that makes their music sound as if it's been around forever. Respect for content rather than form, for collaboration, rather than preservation and for long term development, has enabled them to create a musical universe that is rich, diverse, honest, modern and unique.

Well-rooted in their home town Brussels the band's unique identity is yet enforced by their poetic and socially committed lyrics, celebrating the cultural melting pot of our modern day world. The optimistic undertone convincingly states that another world is possible, raising a fist rather than the middle finger. And it is the kind of music you can dance to 'till you drop at a gig, but also enjoy as you listen more closely at home.

Their many live concerts have made JAUNE TOUJOURS routined musicians, yet always ready to improvise. Their shows are lively and festive, but avoid clichés and always keep the focus on musical quality.
