about

"Ludwig", third album of Lausanne's trio, sublimates the experimental esthetics of the group in a brilliant melodic swirl. [...] With Ludwig, the trio stealthily makes one of the most beautiful discs of the year. One of these rare sound objects whose patient apprehension reveals in its digitized mazes the obvious intelligence of a major formation. [...] Sound universes with a spectacular depth of field, erecting scaffolding by enchased modules of singular auditive scenarios, the pieces of Ludwig evoke in their cinematographic introductions the dramatic universes of hip-hop. [...] Ludwig, one of the rare albums able to reconcile the pop in crisis to its hybrid time.
Nicolas Julliard, LE TEMPS

The melody, and the singing which swims in it, shines in this last delivery of Velma. [... ] Often dazzling!
Xavier Alonso, 24HEURES

That could be a ritornelle for adults. Electro-ritornelle. One would believe oneself in turn on a magic roundabout or the feet at the edge of the swimming pool.
Claude Ansermoz, dimanche ch

Warm production, obstinating melodies [... ], the beautiful Ludwig is not less the very original album of a group in errance, and it is precisely what gives desire for following it.
Patrick De Rham, Abstract

One image remains, like springing back and forth from a broken television, between clarity and dream.
Philipp Wegmüller, FACTS, Nr. 47
