In their previous work, the trio Exsonvaldes often displayed an intellectual side shaped by their academic backgrounds: Simon Beaudoux (vocals and guitar) holds a master’s degree in artificial intelligence; Antoine Bernard (guitar, keyboards) graduated in sound engineering from the Louis Lumière school; and Martin Chourrout (drums) studied at École Polytechnique.
In their new song “Abandoned Water Park,” the band references the Doomsday Clock. The track conveys a sense of powerlessness, while the “water park” represents an image of refuge – a hidden place, like an abandoned building far from the world where one might hide during adolescence. The track was written and produced together with bassist Quentin Rochas, who came up with the idea for the final section – a feeling of calm after the storm. The video was filmed in a real abandoned water park near Paris.
