Pauline Réage - Gentle Destruction (2024) [Official Digital Download]

The Leipzig based quartet Pauline Réage charges into fresh ground, armed with raw energy and a voice that sings in multitudes. Réage is just one letter away from Rage. Passion, unrestraint and a socially critical agenda are at play here, often following philosophical rather than musical instructions while asserting their place in jazz. "In the current social context, jazz remains a powerful tool for driving change. We just need to hold it accountable," proclaims Munka, who named the quartet after the pseudonym of French writer Anne Desclos, whose work "The Story of O" continues to challenge normative gender roles.

Anne Munka, singer and initiator of the project, describes their music as "dramatic, empathetic, and lyrical" a reflection of her own artistic evolution. Just a few years ago, she was primarily engaged in literature, sound art, and radio drama. Collaborations with artists like Marcel Beyer, Rabih Lahoud, Nora Gomringer, and Günther "Baby" Sommer have not only given her a broad artistic basis, but also laid the foundation for her jazz quartet Pauline Réage.
