Following the bewildering ‘Talking with the Birds’, Aksak Maboul are offering a new preview of their album Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) in the form of an enigmatic and magnetic new track called ‘Zone Blanche’. Like an experimental audio play, the album saw the band devising characters and stories over a continuous suite of fifteen pieces. The band shared some insight into the track:

“In ‘Zone Blanche’ the protagonist VV (who, in the previous song, has just shattered an ominous wall with the help of a woman, played by Laetitia Sadier) is entering a ‘dead zone’ which doesn’t appear on the maps. She wanders in the zone, followed by her shadow, played by Don The Tiger. They’re chanting together, until the shadow breaks away and launches into a soulful invocation in Spanish.”

‘Zone Blanche’ comes accompanied by a video filmed by Véronique Vincent and edited by Silva Baldan. Watch it below.

Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) is out on March 3rd though Crammed Discs
