Bolbec, brand new project of childhood friends and multi-instrumentalists Axel Concato and Barth Corbelet, present their debut record, “Victime De L’aube”, on Batov Records. Drawing on their wide blend of musical tastes, from spiritual jazz and folk to classical and electronic sounds, to create an imaginary soundtrack that could easily sit beside the best of Piero Piccioni or Michel Legrand. The album features the duo playing over a dozen different instruments between them, with some heavyweight support from the Nostalgia 77 rhythm section.
Whilst their names might not be household names, the pair have quietly built up a discography and reputation writing for, producing and recording for other artists. Axel’s eclectic career includes producing some of the most exciting artists to break out of the underground Parisien scene, such as Steeple Remove and the sci-fi pop of Halo Maud, on Heavenly Recordings, and met success with his own Pi Ja Ma project, while Barth’s ventures ranged from recording albums in his bedroom and raiding the annals of rock history with Hastings-based Del Vargas as Bosco Rogers, to writing songs for renowned artists like Hollie Cook.
