What moved us most wasn’t the praise itself, but the feeling that someone had really listened to the music and to the ideas behind it.

A heartfelt thanks to Mattie Poels and MusicFrames for this thoughtful reading of Unland.

"... je wordt als luisteraar meteen meegesleept. Luister maar eens hoe je in het eerste nummer, Nachtschade, meteen door de trompet van Martini gepakt wordt. Zo begin je een album. En luister dan ook nog even hoe ze het afsluiten met Batich Ahmar, dan weet je dat je een pracht van een plaat in handen hebt."

‘... as a listener, you’re immediately swept away. Just listen to how, in the first track, ‘Nachtschade’, you’re instantly captivated by Martini’s trumpet. That’s how you start an album. And then just listen to how they close it off with ‘Batich Ahmar’ – that’s when you know you’ve got a real gem of an album in your hands.’

Thank you Holly Moors and Moors Magazine for this heartwarming review on our new Album Unland!

This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are megaphones. Some are radio microphones. Some happen on balconies. Some in the middle of the street.

2003 Halles de Schaerbeek. Supporting Manu Chao at Nunca Máis. A sea of raised hands. A band discovering what happens when urgency meets volume.
2004 A Father’s Day photo shoot. An accordion. A toddler dancing. Music already part of everyday life. Lille. Barricade crosses the border.
2007 Dordrecht. A quiet moment by the water before another show.
2009 Bochum. Backstage beers. Laptop laughter. Then straight back into the lights.
2014 Brussels. PicNic the Streets. The city itself becomes the stage.
2017 Berlin. A radio interview. Songs travelling through conversations as much as concerts.
2020 Lockdown Cheer Up Sessions. The audience looks up from the courtyard. The band plays from the balconies.
2024 Dimanche premieres. Another story leaves the rehearsal room and finds its audience.

Different settings. Same conviction. Still taking songs to festivals, streets, studios and care homes. Still believing music belongs wherever people gather.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.

3'Ain featured on the compilation ‘The Sound Of The Abbey’ with their track “Batich Ahmar”.

"Thirteen artists and ensembles created the same number of tracks, which were recorded within the abbey’s walls.
The abbey has inspired a wide range of musicians. The Rénélius Ensemble, a Roma ensemble from Leuven, the Naragonia Trio, 3'Ain, Andries Boone, Sandra Van der Gucht and Anouk Sanczuk… all interpreted the sounds, the buildings and the atmosphere in their own unique way."

Thank you to the Merode Festival for organising the compilation, and to Patrick Van Gestel and Da Music for reviewing it.
