OUT APRIL 05, 2024
ON VINYL and DIGITAL

Back in 2012, after series of concerts alongside each other, Vincent Dupas, Jean Baptiste Geoffroy and Jérôme Vassereau created Binidu in parallel with their respective bands, Fordamage and Pneu to name just a few, then very singular and of the most joyful french rock music.
Their collaboration is a trek that started more than ten years ago from green and sunny pastures to sink over time into mountains surrounded by storms.
Binidu holds nothing back in composition, always ready to reinvent itself with each new album.
After "Yes", the first fresh and luminous one released in 2013, the second "Nouvel Ancient" in 2018, more adventurous and kind of lost in an apocalyptic world, the trio returns today just as adventurous but more in a peaceful way with "// ", a creation mostly focused on its taste for the acoustics and electronics combination.
A long-distance running music, which, from the top of the ridge lines, looks at the world with lucidity, embracing the entire landscape, valleys, towns, all the way to the sea.

It is their label, Kythibong, which, on the occasion of the festivities around his twentieth birthday, brings Binidu out of his brief hiatus.
2022 therefore sees the trio reunite and begin to compose a new repertoire with a strong desire to play at a low volume and thus be able to perform in a wide variety of locations.
They then broached the composition of the third album changing their instrumentarium. The drums are now reduced to a single snare and a hi-hat, the modular synthesizers are an important part of the composition, small amps and acoustic guitar have been introduced, and the sound of the voice is now devoid of any effect.
Over the course of rehearsals, Binidu starts to imagine “//” as an overall piece with six linked long compositions. Thirty-five minutes of music, alternating very acoustic phases and other electronic ones, creating supernatural spaces, moments of reflection, some pop, hypnotic and/or rhythmic bursts.
The subject of the texts of "//" digs the furrow already taken on "Nouvel Ancient", a political furrow which revolves around readings of essays and anticipation novels.
A nourished reflection on human relationships (We grew Apart) which break under the weight of bureaucratic waste of time and fragmented days, increasingly totalitarian policies (3521)... Binidu questions his relationships to time (Greenland Shark) and nature (More Tropical Rain) while sinking into the underwater depths (Underunderwater).
Resolutely elusive, Binidu continues his hiking path with the release of "//", a new serious, sober and demanding moult, abandoned in the wake of his footsteps.

BINIDU France

Binidu brings together Vincent Dupas, Jérôme Vassereau and Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy.
Their collaboration is a hike that started in sunny green pastures to go further with time deep in the storm-crowned mountains.
A sinuous path of drums and guitar, surrounded by rocks that echo the torrent of the voice.
A music of endurance.... ... more
