Chateau Marmont (Julien Galnier, Guillaume De Maria, Angy Laperdrix, Raphaël Vialla) de Paris
Los franceses de Chateau Marmont, se lo toman con calma, hace 2 Años debutaban con aquel gran Ep ‘Solar Apex’ y ese electro-espacial con JM Jarre, o como ellos lo llaman Soundtrack Pop Synth, y después de realizar remixes para Poney Poney, Koko Von Napoo, Midnight Juggernauts, La Roux, Heartsrevolution y Ladyhawke, ahora llegan con un nuevo Ep ‘Nibiru’, en el que siguen en su linea, interesante grupo, esperemos que no tarden otros 2 años para nuevo material….
Four Frenchmen, childhood friends, united in their love of synth music: dare we say it’s a tale of mystery and imagination, of friendship and self-discovery? Chateau Marmont’s story is half Stand By Me, half Solaris, half Logan’s Run and, yes, it doesn’t add up. They’ve known each other since forever, as children stranded in a hostile landscape dominated by hypertrophied bullies and pathetic louts. They found themselves and each other through synthetic music, so bright and remote in its promises of infinity and eternal bliss, so hard, cold and disturbing when its outlook turns dystopian.
Chateau Marmont remixed Poney Poney, Koko Von Napoo, Midnight Juggernauts and most recently La Roux, Heartsrevolution and Ladyhawke. Solar Apex is their first record. They come from a time when people still believed in the future. A time when the proto French Touch, helmed by Space and Jean-Michel Jarre, dominated the airwaves. The Alan Parsons Project and classic French soundtracks (think Francis Lai) still radiate through their music.
And their name is resonant not of faded glories, awkward suicides, scuffed gold stars and velvet-roped junkies, but of widescreen romance, vintage melancholia and studied postures.
