EXSONVALDES

Exsonvaldes, the high school band that became an indie rock icon, returns with its sixth album, Ninety Seconds to Midnight. Formed twenty-five years ago by Simon Beaudoux, Martin Chourrout, and Antoine Bernard, the trio made a name for themselves with a cult debut album, a French hit single (L’Aérotrain), and numerous tours in Europe, before taking a break and making a remarkable comeback in 2023 with Maps. Today, they are reconnecting with their 90s rock roots: raw guitars, instinctive energy, and influences such as Nirvana and Grandaddy. Signed for the first time to the legendary V2 label, they deliver their most direct and accomplished album, reflecting artistic maturity and a lucid view of the contemporary world. More than a comeback, it’s a rebirth.
