“After a six-year recording pause occupied by related projects of the collective created by Maris and his film-maker partner Sarah Baur, Choux de Bruxelles (‘Brussels sprout’), and the difficulties of the Covid pandemic, Vertigo is a musical pinnacle, the arrangements, playing and production more full and powerful than ever.”

Vertigo has just received a glowing review from RootsWorld, the renowned world and roots-folk music magazine and radio station based in New Haven, USA! Not only that, we’re honored to be their Music of the Month in October !

“With Vertigo, after some six years, Brussels-based Jaune Toujours once again evaluates the society we live in (…) It makes you dizzy and so Vertigo seemed an appropriate title to capture the spirit of the times.”

“Ondertussen is *Vertigo* uitgebracht als single die zowel de straatsfeer van Parijs en Kingston oproept. Een sleazy skasfeertje met fanfaregeluiden, maar ook On-U-Sound-invloeden en het leven iets minder zwaar maakt.”

“Meanwhile, *Vertigo* has been released as a single that evokes both the street atmosphere of Paris and Kingston. A sleazy ski atmosphere with fanfare sounds, but also On-U-Sound influences and makes life a little less heavy.”

Thanks Luminous for this article on our new single .

“Het nummer combineert aanstekelijke blazers, accordeonriffs en ambienttreingeluiden. De eerste zin van het refrein luidt, vrij vertaald: “de wereld is zo groot dat je ervan duizelt”. De tekst refelecteert hoe weinig evident het is om overeind te blijven in deze tijden, waarin de maatschappij enbij uitbreiding de hele wereld onder druk lijken te staan, maar getuigt toch ook van veerkracht.”

“The song combines catchy horns, accordion riffs and ambient treble sounds. The first line of the chorus is “the world is so vast it makes you dizzy.” The lyrics reflect how difficult it is to stay afloat in these times, where society and, by extension, the entire world seem to be under pressure, but they also express resilience.”
