After a remarkable debut in 2024, acclaimed both in Switzerland and internationally, Yalisco returns in 2026 with Orange Orange, a new, more assertive and nuanced album. The Geneva-based band refines its signature sound, blending garage and surf rock with a subtle touch of psychedelia.
Driven by richer influences and more accomplished production, Orange Orange explores aquatic and mystical soundscapes, bathed in mesmerising reverberations. The lyrics – now mostly in French – are part of a contemplative and nostalgic universe, where images drift and the imagination takes flight.
Orange Orange confirms Yalisco’s place among the most unique projects on the current Swiss independent scene.
New album “ORANGE ORANGE”
OUT MARCH 6th, 2026
LP – Le Pop Club/ Table Basse Records
After working with a number of groups over the last twenty years, playing with a
variety of records, groups and concerts (The Rebels of Tijuana, Le Roi Angus, etc.),
KACIMI released his first solo album « Cookies & Motoriders » in 2015, followed by
« Gyrophare » in 2020, « Couronne d’Ephémères » in 2023 and « Panache » in 2024. Four critically acclaimed albums (Rock & Folk, Rolling Stone, Les Inrockuptibles, Shindig, RTS, FIP, France
Inter…). These albums are interspersed with various singles (« Décroche », « Il fait si
chaud ce soir », « Les Rois »…) and numerous collaborations since 2020 (Lionel Limiñana,
Nick Wheeldon, Alexis Fugain, Blot, L’Eclair, Joël Virgel, Audrey K….). KACIMI’s music
plunges us, in a contemporary and modern interpretation, into the heart of French
sixties pop, at once cinematic, yéyé, beat and poetic, where psychedelic rhythm n’blues
and garage rock n’roll mingle with love ballads suspended in time.
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 ».
