"Super Parquet's music appears as a new, hybrid, electroacoustic manifestation of revivalism, this return to traditional dances and music which has repopulated trad balls since the 1970s." Trax
GOSHEN, the new EP of SUPER PARQUET will be released in March 2025 on AIRFONO Label. Three long tracks, UBAC, NORSKA and the eponymous PASSE DE GOSHEN. They refer through geography to delicate paths, real or fictional, of our world. Ubac as the slope of a mountain exposed to the north, or Noska from La Horde du Contrevent of Damasio, like so many Everests that they have had to climb for ten years, which today gives their music an indisputable strength and legitimacy. Exploring a primary forest, the band draws its inspiration from the musical tradition of the Massif Central, making the cabrette, the drone box and the banjo collide with the most unbridled electronic set-ups. A unique and singular blend of raw, sharp acoustics, with electronic loops and sound design transmutations that plunges the audience into an abyssal trance where each theme becomes an invitation to abandon, like a Dionysian and syncretic round. In this fertile tension, Super Parquet manages to produce an infinite, innovative musical dialogue, with a strong taste for repetitive motifs, the ternary and drones, micro-variations of timbre and sonic and psychedelic experiments.
Album Couteau / Haute Forme 2022
Ten years after their debut, the French quartet has established itself as a reference for popular-inspired music in Europe. Over two hundred gigs, they have helped to give their modern letters of nobility to the cabrette (french bagpipe), electronic luthiery, and bourrée (center France traditional dance), with a fan base that has long since surpassed the ballroom audience. Having become a live phenomenon, Super Parquet is preparing us for its new EP in March 2025: GOSHEN.
