about

“It’s been almost 10 years since Louis Minus XVI reigned over the free jazz of the Flandres. Fortunately for us, his reign is not ready to stop with this new album “De Anima “.
This Art Ensemble of Lille is hyperactive. In addition to three albums and a split with the Berber artist Lahcen Akil, we find members of the quartet in equally ambitious projects, such as Unik Ubik, M.Thibault, Hook, L’Atelier d’Education Musicale du Centre Social Raymond Poulidor, but also in the company of avant-garde cult figures such as Daniel Carter or Pascal Comelade.
The music of Louis Minus XVI is revolutionary, humanist scaffold jazz whose alto and tenor saxophones Adrien Douliez and Jean Baptiste Rubin are the breath of life. They mix, accompany each other, clash stereophonically, and systematically fall back on their legs like a gutter cat skirmish.
Frederic L’Homme’s abrasive drum play, from which chaos emanates, adds depth to this dialogue, and airs the space with world music incursions reminiscent of Okay Temiz’s work.
This twilight jazz, sometimes composed of afrobeat, is led by the stretchy and incisive bass of Maxime Petit, whose aggressiveness fades with a soft groove finesse, evoking the chaâbi sounds.
The experience is total live, in perfect symbiosis, Louis Minus XVI guarantee a trance at the crossroads of Post-Punk and Be-Bop.
The icing on the cake, they happen mostly in small places, close to people, reflecting the state of mind that unites them. ”
Sam Nolin
