STIRB (AT) // NI (FR) Chelsea, 12.07.'24

For anyone already familiar with 𝗡𝗶, the title of their their new album is bound to raise a smile. Fol Naïs, literally "born mad" in Old French, or the appellation given to the fools and jesters of history's great rulers. This symbol of impertinence couldn't be more appropriate for this new release from the most unclassifiable of Rhône-Alpes quartets.

Complex, dissonant, shaggy, it's all there. But their formidable inventiveness and unexpected danceable side make them a leader in the musical niche. Math Rock? Noise? Metal? Jazz? Ni take another step in their quest for the Holy Grail, displaying as much mischief as wrath.

 

ni! ni! ni! ni!
