For its third album, the band widened its spectrum welcoming Soo-Bin
Park. "When we first met I've been immediately caught by her truly
natural way of making music, both when she plays percussion or when she
sings. She 'is' music, and I am particularly attracted to the
'punk'-side of her approach of the tradition" said Franck Vaillant.
The launch of their album "Magnetic Benzine" was heavily welcomed by
the critics. Benzine and Soo-Bin are unanimously recognized by the
specialized press and are widely broadcasted on national and
international radios. In October, they will be on tour in South Korea,
