Maps And Foils close out a packed year with the release of a striking new video for “Nulle part,” the track that first mapped the emotional and sonic direction of their concept album ‘Nulle Part.’ Built on downtuned guitars and a heavy, drifting pull, the song carries a sense of internal pressure that never lets up. Sung in French, its phrasing cuts deep, giving extra weight to lyrics that wrestle with the strain of being an artist forced to juggle creation, performance, and constant visibility all at once. The self produced video pairs the music with stark imagery of ghost ships and broken oars, reinforcing the feeling of motion without escape.
Formed in Paris in 2016, Maps And Foils have steadily expanded their sound across full length releases ‘#1’ and ‘Less Is Mort,’ alongside projects like the grindcore EP ‘Les Anathèmes’ and the documentary ‘At Spes Non Fracta.’ Now operating as a tightened power trio following lineup changes, the band channels that evolution into ‘Nulle Part,’ a record shaped by themes of wandering, erosion, and emotional free fall. “Nulle part” stands as a defining moment in that arc, delivering dissonant hardcore that feels heavy, restless, and fully immersed in tension, a track that sinks in slowly and leaves a mark long after it ends.
