Ni
« I’ve concluded the latest Rockfort mix with ‘Leucosélophobie’, which is particularly relatable for me in the context of writing this column: fear of the blank page.
More specifically the fear of not being able to do justice to the art. And the fear of not fitting in enough of the extraordinary music I’ve come across over the last two months. »

For anyone already familiar with Ni, the title of their fourth album is bound to raise a smile. Fol Naïs, literally “born mad” in Old French, or the appellation given to the fools and jesters of history’s great rulers. This symbol of impertinence couldn’t be more appropriate for this new release from the most unclassifiable of Rhône-Alpes quartets. Complex, dissonant, shaggy, it’s all there. But their formidable inventiveness and unexpected danceable side make them a leader in the musical niche. Math Rock? Noise? Metal? Jazz? Ni take another step in their quest for the Holy Grail, displaying as much mischief as wrath. Demonstration on December 1, 2023!
