After five years of silence, OZMA returns with their most personal and cinematic album yet. Composed by drummer and bandleader Stéphane Scharlé, this new opus blends jazz, rock, and electronic textures, evoking a dystopian world where humanity is forced to live at night. With a bold new lineup, Édouard Séro-Guillaume (bass), Musina Ebobissé (saxophone), Martin Ferreyros (guitar), Dan Jouravsky (keyboards, replacing the trombone) and stunning guest collaborations-including Syrian vocalist Lynn Adib, Fulani flutist Dramane Dembélé, and avant-garde flutist Delphine Joussein-the album navigates between intense, stormy energy and dreamlike contemplation. From the raw, high-energy riffs of "Metalycra" to the haunting beauty of "Amours Volatiles", each track tells a story, enhanced by a futuristic AI-generated visual universe created by Andrea Ciulu. A modern jazz-rock odyssey, The Day We Decided to Live at Night is both a manifesto and a soundtrack to an imagined future, charged with rebellion, love, and cinematic intensity.
