The Belgian band Jaune Toujours has a strong reputation in being a festival highlight wherever they play. This octet with stacks of trumpets, accordion, percussion and so on. Brings a nice blend of brass, klezmer, ska, folk, chanson and all those other styles. They fit perfectly in the new wave of brass-influenced-multi-crossover-folky-bands. This new album contains eleven new recordings, mostly sung in French but some English and Dutch as well. Like their previous output, a nice album. But not surprising in any way. Sure there are some differences with earlier albums, but somehow not enough to really make my ears stay focused. It’s like the band takes it a bit calmer and the different styles that in earlier work were so recognisable, now grew together into one kind of sound. So my personal conclusion would be that Jaune Toujours still is the nice band they were, but not as refreshing as they once were.
