French jazz quintet’s new album, “Feux,” opens a portal into the unknown
There’s a quiet sort of revolution bubbling up in France right now, and at the center of it stands the double bassist Thomas Julienne and his band, Theorem Of Joy. The five-piece band builds a world where North African scales drift into post-rock dreamscapes, and softens into a radiant jazz glow. It’s jazz, technically… but it’s also not jazz at all. It’s enigmatic. It’s lush. It feels like slipping into some half-remembered dream where the subconscious has no rules. One moment you’re wading through quiet introspection; the next you’re launched into something boundless and bright.

And yeah, maybe you lose your bearings for a second. But that’s the point. You just let the current take you—let the surges of rhythm, color, and texture rearrange whatever you thought music was supposed to do. Theorem of Joy doesn’t just play songs, they open up these little air jordan 11 columbia portals made of sound and imagery and language. Everything loops, branches, dissolves, reforms.
Their new album, Feux (which means “Fires” in French), breathes, wanders, and glows. It’s intimate without ever taking the easy path, sophisticated without losing its soul. The 9th track on the album, “El Haik Dance Floor” is probably my favorite on the record. It’s a vibrant blend of jazz, house, and Arabic… all wrapped in a distinctly French Touch vibe.
