The legendary Parisian trio Exsonvaldes returns to Spanish stages, including a night in Barcelona! Following the success of their album Maps (2023), the band will perform songs from that album along with an exclusive preview of their highly anticipated new record, Ninety Seconds to Midnight, set for release in 2026 on V2 Records.

“A high school band that endured.” This is how singer and guitarist Simon Beaudoux describes the journey of a group that has spent 25 years forging a distinctive sound. From their debut Time We Spent Together (2004), now considered a cult album, to the success of L’Aérotrain (2013), through their breakup in 2017 and their return with Maps, Exsonvaldes have remained true to their essence while continuing to explore new sonic territory.

With Ninety Seconds to Midnight, they reclaim the explosive energy of their earliest rehearsals, featuring rawer guitars, distortion and an urgent spirit inherited from 1990s rock a là Nirvana, Weezer, and the Foo Fighters. The title alludes to the Doomsday Clock, a metaphor for the political, social and ecological tensions of our time, and the songs breathe urgency, darkness and melancholy while retaining the melodic edge that defines them.
