Hello Jöetsu Shore
I see that you are from Wattignies in the North of France, can you tell us more about your band ?
Who are your inspirations? (I saw that you have made many albums)
Have you ever performed concerts in Paris?
How long has the band been together?
What kind of music do you listen to?"
"Indeed, I haven't tried much to communicate about the behind-the-scenes; I quite like the idea of focusing on the music in this project!
It's a solo project, with inspirations varying across albums (for example, Sigur Ros, les Thugs, M83, and the Smashing Pumpkins on different past albums), particularly the Dandy Warhols and Ringo Deathstarr on the latest one. It's more about influences on the creative process and methodology rather than on the sound in particular, it seems to me. I've listened to a lot of shoegaze and post-rock, and I'm a big fan of Tapeworms' first EPs, for example, and Ringo Deathstarr. I listen to a lot of ambient music as well (Windy & Carl, Villeneuve among others).
The idea is to be as spontaneous as possible in composition.
No concerts have been performed with this project, which is primarily based on the idea of not restricting the flow of composition by the logistics associated with rehearsing and preparing concerts with the associated communication. But I'm considering it; it's not out of the question that I might decide to do a set with some accomplices in a place like Supersonic.
The project has existed since the first album, the few weeks preceding its release, presumably November 2021.
I'm listening to a lot of ambient at the moment (I try to include it in small doses in my recordings, by the way), a bit of contemporary classical music too I think it corresponds to a tiredness of the classic song structures at the moment. But I've listened to a lot of Shoegaze in recent years, both from the old wave (I'm more MBV, Ride, Swervedriver, and Curve than Slowdive, Lush, or Pale Saints, for example), and the new (Submotile and Tapeworms particularly Dead Horse One, Flyying Colours, and many others) and all the bands with whom we share playlists on the Rave Down compilations, with whom we often share the stage on other projects. I'm less of a fan of the recent trend of heavier/metal-gaze bands; it speaks to me less.
Otherwise, I'm re-listening to just about any Black Session from France Inter, regardless of the style."
Thank Jöetsu Shore
