Indochine – Babel Babel

Today Indochine released Babel Babel, their fourteenth studio album release. This ambitious double album features 17 tracks that seamlessly integrate their signature 1980s new wave edge with bold contemporary pop-rock arrangements and classical textures. The record leverages high-profile collaborations, including track mixes by legendary engineer Mark “Spike” Stent, cover art by photographer David LaChapelle, and vocal features from Ana Perrote and Marion Brunetto.
Since their 1981 formation in Paris, the French pop-rock and new wave titans Indochine, fronted by Nicola Sirkis, have maintained an unparalleled position within the European music landscape. Blending synthpop, darkwave, and alternative rock, the group has sold over 13 million records, establishing themselves as the best-selling French band of all time. Their career is defined by an impressive resilience, transitioning from 1980s chart dominance to a historic critical and commercial renaissance in the early 2000s.
