Active since 2000 with different mini albums and four albums Le Singe Blanc arrive to their fifth one titled BABYLON. Co-produced by Bar La Muerte, La Face Cachee, Whosbrain Records and available in vinyl and CD format, the new album see the French combo bringing to their audience nine new tracks in balance from jazz, punk and noise. Since from the opening tune "Bombadilhom" they sounded like a mix of Primus and Zeni Geva to me and the during the whole album I didn't changed my mind. Having the same sonic power of the Japanese band headed by KK Null and the craziness of the Californian combo (check for example "Tapadi" with its drunk choirs and its funk'n'punk attitude). I really enjoyed the album and even if at a first listen Le Singe Blanc could sound like a bunch of Smurfs on acid, at end of the album you'll find out that all this is making sense and you'll appreciate the 90s noise influences and their improvisation attitude (which on tracks like "Sblaf" reminds me of Magma).
