03 GRAVITY

ROCK - INDIE ROCK - VELVET ROCK - ALTERNATIVE
Founded by guitarist Sylvain Laforge and New York singer Angela Randall, "LUX", now LUX the band, is joined by Julien Boisseau on bass and Amaury Blanchard on drums.  Their self-described "Velvet Rock" is a mix of American and Brit rock and alt-folk made of elegant lyrics, unique vocals and consistently stellar guitar work.  Their first album "SUPER 8" was  re-released with new songs in June 2019. The second album, GRAVITY was released on 9 December 2022.  The band has just released (12 Jan 2024) an EP, "Before Night Falls - The Black Box Sessions" of 5 tracks recorded live, on tape, at Studio Black Box, France. The music of LUX the band is guitar-based, authentic, organic, analog. Have a listen and hopefully you'll follow us for a voyage filmed in Super 8.

LUX the band has played in Paris in venues such as La Boule Noire, Café de la Danse, New Morning, Bus Palladium and has played in NYC as an acoustic duo.

Imagine Natalie Merchant wandering into Villa Nellcote when the Stones were recording Exile on Main St. and you’ll get a flavour of who they are and that seductive allure of punchy guitar and wounded lyrics. Laforge feels strongly that all songs should work with just guitar and voice and, similarly, Randall’s spare lyrics tap into that same traditional aesthetic uncomplicated by layers of production or studio gimmickry.
