Le trio québécois est de retour avec une chanson électro-pop aux effluves de krautrock pour son approche doucement psychédélique. Ce vaporeux morceau semble flotter quelque part en dehors du temps. Musicalement métissée, mélodique à souhait et accrocheur tout en préservant un aspect exploratoire pour ses sonorités synthétiques soigneusement travaillées captive l'attention avec ses propos extrêmement imagés. 〰 The Quebec trio is back with an electro-pop song with a krautrock feel for its softly psychedelic approach. This vaporous track seems to float somewhere outside time. Musically mixed, melodic and catchy, while preserving an exploratory aspect for its carefully crafted synthetic sonorities, it captivates the listener with its extremely colourful lyrics.

London-based duo Kit Sebastian share their new single ‘Inertia’, a world cinema inspired gem. It is the second track to be taken from their forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Melodi', which is released 1st October on Mr Bongo. ‘Melodi' is a joyous expression of vibrant grooves and sophisticated lyricism that transcends boundaries, borders and social-cultural preconceptions. Those familiar with the band's cult classic 2019 debut record 'Mantra Moderne' will instantly recognise their unique take on world music, jazz and psychedelia. With this next album the duo have expanded their language and concepts and transposed them into something larger and more contemplative.

Influenced by their love of world cinema, ‘Inertia’ is infused with lush orchestral textures inspired by soundtracks from some of the duo's favourite films. The lyrics were written as a response to Marlene Dietrich’s performance in ‘Der Blaue Engel’, and how the apathy of modernity is communicated in cinema. 

It sits in a relaxed, loose, smoky cinematic funk setting, with Merve's lead vocals sparring with the horn section, whilst strings and exotic instrumentation interweave in and out of the backbone of the song. Kit's backing vocals float almost ghost-like, mirroring Merve, giving it a dreamlike quality. The tone of 'Inertia' evokes a sense of longing and searching, a muted melancholy that is uplifted by the horn and string sections. 

It is a sophisticated groove with a deeply seductive complexity that draws the listener in, being both timeless and borderless in its origins.

The duo’s third album of instrumental guitar recordings pushes their sinuous compositions into labyrinthine new shapes, interlocking and interlocutory, supported by a cast of stellar collaborators. Interwoven among the dazzling original pieces is a fascinating array of covers, ranging from traditional Breton dance tunes to a deconstruction of Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance.”

Their melody-first sensibilities are perfectly suited to each other …  playfully complex guitar work that sounds as if it was tossed off in an afternoon of whiskey and laughs. – NPR

An intoxicating, intricate web … Wherever Salsburg and Elkington go, it’s always a pleasure. – Aquarium Drunkard

Sounds like winter has always been approaching, like Indian summer never quite fades, like fall isn’t built around loss. – Stereogum

For the most part, their songs are in French, and are reminiscent of the kaleidoscopic disco of Sébastien Tellier and the pop songwriting of Metronomy. Laurence G-Do, the quebecoise-vietnamese singer, takes on love in both its most naively simple and frustratingly complicated moments.

In 2010, they released their debut album, Origami, which found its way into hearts and blogs in Germany, Italy, Mexico, France and the UK, and propelled them to the top of Quebec’s independent radio charts. Following a meeting with French producer French Fox, Le Couleur approached him to produce their next EP. They also called upon members of French Horn Rebellion to participate in its creation, resulting in a sound that follows in Origami’s footsteps while still breaking new ground. Featuring their original French diso-pop sound, Voyage Love, released in 2013, brought Le Couleur to new levels of international recognition. The EP was warmly received and reviewed by blogs and magazines in over 15 countries and the group was invited to play a number of renowned festivals, including but not limited to Pop Montreal, Liverpool Sound City, and M for Montreal.  Voyage Love was also nominated for the GAMIQ (CA) prize in the category “Best EP of the year” and made a number of top 10 lists for 2013.

After a first tour of Europe in 2014, Le Couleur released "Concerto Rock"  - the first single from their new EP "Dolce Désir" released in February 2015 in several countries (CD, Vinyl, Digital). After some shows in North America (USA, Canada) and Europe (UK, Germany, France) Le Couleur won their first GAMIQ prize in Canada for "best electronic EP of the year". The band is now working on their first album due for fall 2016.
