Album review

    «“[...] ‘Aller’ and ‘Retour’ are both similar and different, the two opposite yet complementary sides of the same thing, the two non-exclusive elements of the same music. Like two superconducting bodies/magnets that attract and repel each other in equal measure. A whole world, a real one.”»

    Instant Bullshit _ Hazam

    «“After ‘Brazilian Blowout’ in 2014, we hadn't heard from Kouma as a group. The trio is back today with ‘Aibohphobia,’ and it quickly becomes clear just how much we've missed them.”»

AibohphobiA is an album conceived as a concept, certainly, but one that retains the trio’s distinctive sound and energy.

Band : Kouma
Format : EP
Type : Vinyl
Release : march 2019
  • Description

    ‘AibohphobiA’ or the phobia of palindromes; this is the concept behind Kouma’s third album: a soundtrack with the reversible nature of a daily commute. The outward journey makes up Side A. It is earthy, warm and rooted in the guitar/sax/drums sound familiar to the trio. Its negative counterpart, featured on side B, is more synthetic and ethereal, taking the trio in new directions. Two versions of a journey, then, for an album conceived as a concept album, yet one that retains the trio’s signature sound and energy.

    Recommended listening for any daily commute lasting around twelve minutes.
