For his fourth album, ‘Panache’, KACIMI has teamed up with Geneva-based Augustin von Arx and Léonard Persoz (musicians with Magic&Naked and Le Roi Angus). The album features dreamy synths, mellow bass and smooth production. Accustomed to guitars and garage pop (The Rebels of Tijuana), KACIMI breaks with his usual habits by composing most of the tracks for this album on piano, delicately dressed by Augustin von Arx and Léonard Persoz, who produce the entire album. These 9 tracks take us into a shimmering world of electronica and seventies pop. Set to absurd yet existential poems by Romano Bianchi, his pop partner, Kacimi lets himself drift off into his reveries and narrations with a clear, precise voice. Recorded in the Geneva countryside in the midst of a bamboo garden and an invigorating vegetable patch, ‘Panache’ stands out in KACIMI’s discography as a real letting go, where pleasure was the central element in the creative process.

In recent years, KACIMI has written music for a number of series, adverts and events (Emily in Paris, You’re The Worst, Orangina, Cannes Film Festival, etc.). He runs the Le Pop Club Records label, with which he has released almost 80 titles (Le Superhomard, Nick Wheeldon, Wendy Martinez, etc.) and in recent years has specialised in French film music, with vinyl reissues of « Coup de Tête », « Les Tontons Flingueurs », « Un Singe en Hiver » and « Le Magnifique ».
