Population II releases Maintenant Jamais!
Maintenant Jamais, Population II's third album, is out today on LP, CD and all music services!
A crisp, spellbinding intro sets the mood for the first song on Maintenant Jamais, Population II's third album. With the guidance of producer Dominic Vanchesteing (Marie Davidson, Chocolat, Bernardino Femminielli), the typical turbulence of the band’s previous releases is structured and refined. The result is a sophisticated rock album that surprises with its languorous pace, as heard on Le thé est prêt, while staying true to the band’s renowned raw power, demonstrated on vigorous tracks like La Trippance and Rédemption naturelle.
Next on the album is Prévisions, a song that pulsates with finesse, before abruptly transitioning into the instrumental number Macavélique rock. While Haut-fond and Cardinaux are true feats of elegant prog rock, Mariano (Jamais je ne t'oublierai) and homme étoilé prove that Population II is also endowed with a profound melodic sensibility, capable of creating catchy and explosive hooks.
On this new album, the trio fine-tunes their distinctive style, thanks to a fusion of shared influences (from Soft Machine to MC5 to L'Infonie) and the rare complicity that blossoms between close friends. This creative chemistry is what makes the band's complex songwriting seem so fluid. Population II breaks through their own sonic frontiers while remaining true to their roots. Therein lies the achievement of Maintenant Jamais.
