1515 had a busy 2025, supporting Kamasi Washington on his Spring European tour, performing at COLORS – Tones of Paris in October, playing the Simple Things Festival with Smerz and Florence Sinclair in July, and closing the Fusion Festival main stage after John Maus in August. To kick off 2026, 15 15 are sharing “Queen’s Goodbye” the second off their debut album Mārara, out Thursday 15 January 2026 on S76.

Since their beginnings, Julia, Tsi Min, Ennio, Robin, and Marvin have explored the connections between memory and invention through unique concept projects: Ataheva (about mourning), Le Jeune (on colonization), or Saplin (celebration of casualness). Their work, both free and precise, is expressed as much on stage as in their videos or installations, often created in an artisanal manner.

Produced by Robin Morisse Mac Lean and mastered by Simon Lancelot (Dijon, Mk.gee) Mārara (which means flying fish) will be released on S76 on 6th March 2026. The album imagines a fictional island inspired by French Polynesia: a poetic territory where traditions, ghosts of the past, and visions of the future intersect. Sung in English, French, and Tahitian, the album combines electronic textures, organic percussion, and vocal harmonies.

From from 15 15: ”Under a sky set ablaze by the day’s final light, the stray dogs still bark. One of them lays a marara (a flying fish) at the feet of Queen Zoizo, a final offering to a reign on the verge of fading. Once adored, the queen has withdrawn far from the carnival and its noise, settling by a lake of slow-moving waves, where only birds keep her company”.
