Charles F. Bleistift EP
This limited-edition 7” EP follows the release of Aksak Maboul's acclaimed new double LP 'Figures' (out May 22, 2020), which is the legendary experimental pop band’s first real new album in decades. These four tracks are reworks, which don’t appear as such on the album. They expand on the imaginative world of the 'Figures' album, with its unique instrumentation, its sound collages and diverse, enigmatic moods.

Une Aventure De VV (Songspiel)
In the wake of their acclaimed comeback album 'Figures' (2020), Aksak Maboul took a playful sideways step to create this total work, a 63-minute, continuous suite of fifteen pieces, which could be described as an experimental audio play. The thread running through 'Une aventure de VV (Songspiel)' is Véronique Vincent’s text, an enigmatic philosophical-poetical tale unfolding through monologues and dialogues, spoken and sung by a series of characters, played by Alig Fodder, Laetitia Sadier, Audr…
16 Visions Of Ex-Futur
*2024 stock* Excited by Véronique Vincent & Aksak Maboul’s acclaimed ‘lost’ avant-pop opus, a host of artists from all over the place have launched into reinterpretations of the songs from Ex-Futur Album. The result is 16 Visions of Ex-Futur, a full album containing 16 reinterpretations (covers and reworks) created by: • Jaakko Eino Kalevi (the young Finnish artist, whose albums of strange elegant pop are out on Domino) • Forever Pavot (the illegitimate son of Ennio Morricone and The Zombies) •…

Ex-Futur Album
Strictly limited deluxe LP edition on 180gr vinyl, incl. gatefold & inner sleeves and lyric sheet.  All songs written between 1980 and 1983.  This record was never completed. What was originally intended to become the third album by Aksak Maboul (the seminal band formed by Marc Hollander with Congotronics producer Vincent Kenis) had gradually evolved into a strange artefact, closely mingling (iconic Honeymoon Killers chanteuse) Véronique Vincent’s dreamy vocals and deceptively bubbly lyrics with…
Figures

Un peu de l'âme des bandits
**Reissue of killer album from 1980 - the album's first reissue on vinyl** Originally released in January 1980, the second album from (Crammed founder) Marc Hollander’s band was more intense and experimental than Aksak Maboul’s debut album, yet often as playful. Containing complex written sections, free improv, and a wild variety of elements, Bandits was recorded with a band comprising revered UK musicians Fred Frith & Chris Cutler, and is described by All Music Guide as “a pinnacle of the…
