With a highly eclectic selection—ranging from formats (vinyl, CDs, DVDs, video games, etc.) as well as musical genres (from jazz to electronic music, including a (very nice) section dedicated to German hard rock and metal—of course), the shop is welcoming and brimming with hidden gems for enthusiasts, all at very affordable prices.

Less experimental than its predecessor, the new album by the Swedish band Les Big Byrd, titled Ruin Everything, is a fireworks display of krautrock melodies that blend ’70s guitars with ’80s keyboards, all carried by spellbinding choruses that evoke both disillusionment and nostalgia, in both English and Swedish, giving the whole a lanky pop vibe.

what stands out in this new solo venture, titled Vox occulta, is Einar Solberg’s talent for rhythmic composition, which transforms these pieces into components of a soundtrack brimming with vocal and instrumental textures that cast a spell on you.

The seven tracks on this EP are truly beautiful songs—the kind that Europe (in this case, the Netherlands) seems to have a knack for. A songwriter and a voice to watch out for!

Let’s hear from the artists in our “Shakin’words” column! Jazz artist Katerina Pipili agreed to speak with SHAKERS Magazine to mark the release of her new album, Room for Blue, now available everywhere—a gem that’s sure to shake you up, and not just your ears!

Myrath's performance was an unforgettable encounter: the band set the Espace Julien stage alight! The Tunisians are happy to be in France, confiding that they don't have the same freedom to perform at home, and we're proud to welcome them, for their classy metal, their values and their generosity. The show is intense, colorful and warm, and we dance as much as we sing, to the frenzied rhythm of tracks from all their albums.

We know where we stand: Vanden Plas, with a 30-year career behind them, have some choice tracks in store for us, revisiting almost all their works in turn, including four tracks from their latest The Empyrean equation of the long lost things. The band's line-up remains unchanged until 2023, with Alessandro del Vecchio (replacing Günter Werno), known for his work with Edge of Forever and Jorn.
