Babylon Circus Profile
It's five albums down the track for this French nine-piece and they've moved well beyond their initial ska stylings, incorporating everything from gypsy swing to Afro pop, reggae and rock music. Singing predominantly in French, but occasionally in English, live they're a powerhouse of barely restrained infectious energy, though recently they've become increasingly adept at layering their albums with subtle moments of genuine beauty. While typically diverse, Never Stop is Babylon at their most pop, full of hooks and singalong choruses, music to which you mumble nonsensically as you realise you don't even speak French.
