Kon - Tiki

Waves We Were a émergé en 2015 dans l’intimité de la chambre nantaise de Kãman Messaadi, répondant à un appel du large musical. Sans prétention scénique, deux EPs enregistrés dans les conditions spartiates de son home studio furent mis en ligne, dans la veine lo-fi d’une bedroom pop aquatique. Les guitares sont tantôt empruntées à Mac DeMarco, tantôt à King Krule et les synthés viennent noyer le tout dans une atmosphère onirique prompte à la dérive auditive. 
En 2020, le projet se fait plus ambitieux, avec une volonté de défendre des morceaux développés davantage pour la scène, comme en atteste l’apparition d’une batterie lors des sessions studio. Quelques touches jazzy viennent étoffer les accords septièmes avec un peu de saxophone, de ci de là. La langue française fait également surface dans les textes incessamment maritimes, sans pour autant renier les références indie et surf piochées de l’autre côté de la Manche, ou de l’Atlantique. Un album est attendu pour 2021, et quelques avant-goûts de ce changement de cap stylistique viendront vous éclabousser d’ici là. Levez l’ancre et hissez les voiles avec Waves We Were !
