Meandrés are three strong and complementary musical personalities. Fabien Genais is a saxophonist sculpting melodies and sound textures with remarkable expressiveness. Emmanuel Cremer, a cellist and composer, is an architect of sound, always in search of new musical dimensions. Uli Wolters, a multi-instrumentalist, juggles vibraphone, tenor sax, and electronics—an explorer who fuses textures to create immersive sonic atmospheres. These three musicians have come together with one vision: to push the boundaries of sound. What they’ve crafted, what they’ve immersed themselves in, is a rare art form—an entrancing fusion of jazz, experimental electro-pop, trip-hop, and hip-hop. Tracks like Knowing Something, featuring haunting vocals from Emile Lesbros, feel like a hypnotic trip through a trip-hop black hole. The title track, A Robot, is a cinematic masterpiece—its dark, deep tones and bass hold your soul in suspension, with vocals from Arnaud Vé capturing its raw intensity. Little Wooden Raft transcends genres with gripping force, while the vocal interplay between Appolonie and Arnaud Vé is utterly mesmerizing. I’m always excited to see Madd Ladd featured—been a huge fan since his Hero Theme days with The Infesticons. On Blim Blam, he does what he does best. It’s not quite hip-hop—he spits hard over a dark, electro-jazz soundscape, bending the genre to his will. Emilio, featuring @willton.official, uses strings to stunning atmospheric effect, closing the album with a striking moment. I wanted it to expand further, but its restraint also feels intentional—seamlessly bringing things full circle as it fades into track one, My Old Country. With Meandrés, these musicians may have created something truly special. It demands to be experienced, to be absorbed—but be careful. This is a sonic black hole, and it just might consume you.
