New improved Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp becoming even more surrealistic and powerful!

Incredibly, for their third album, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp have become even madder, badder and – most importantly – more exciting. Bass players, it is sometimes said, are crazier than drummers. Bassist Vincent Bertholet certainly is. He formed the Duchamps in 2006 in the image of his own thrilling self. A band that wouldn’t recognise musical boundaries or boxes; a band that would refute all restrictions of genre, trend and any other convention. Hence the name of the band: far too long for the bullet-point media, too arty for punks and too irreverent for po-faced art lovers – too baffling all round. For ten years, the Duchamps were a six-piece ensemble, translating Vincent’s concept into an irresistibly, anarchically entertaining live experience. It’s the same with any drug. The better it gets, the better it must get. That’s why the Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, already beloved by festival goers all over Europe and Froots magazine in the UK, have more than doubled their original line-up to become a 14-piece laboratory of musical ecstasy.

“Sauvages Formes”, the band’s third album, is released on 27 April on Les Disques Bongo Joe. Somehow or another, the album will be available everywhere in the world, even if it means to go on the Bongo Joe homepage and order it personally. Like the last album, Rotorotor (2014), “Sauvages Formes” was produced by THE John Paris at the Real World studios near Bath in the UK. No real animals were hurt in the process of making this truly life-changingly brilliant album.
