Coming in red hot this one! Bolbec is a steaming band from Rouen in the North of the French hexagon and they assembled a full orchestra to record their sophomore album that just came out via Batov Records. It is mysteriously titled Foutu Félin and covers a full range of 60s spy movie instrumentals as well as Disney-adjacent alley cat vibes: “The title track ‘Foutu Félin’ leans into humour. Built around a buoyant walking bass, it imagines a feline character strutting somewhere between slapstick animation and jazz club swagger.”
The whole album is great journey through the many sounds and vibes, reminiscent of the Normandy countryside, vintage Tour de France footage, and elegant cinema drapes. The feline title track is attached below – and you can also find it on the current iteration of the official Poule d’Or playlist, on Spotify and Apple Music.
All tracks written and produced by Axel Concato and Barthélémy Corbelet, recorded at The Fishmarket, London and at rue Pigeon and La Mama Studio in lovely Rouen.
