Atypically French Indie-folk
We are so proud to announce our album “The Mainland” will be launched out in Germany on May 6th on Solaris Empire. It’s a lovely indie label based in Berlin, founded by the none the less loving musician Kitty Solaris. Gigs and reviews are coming up to accompany this very important event for us! Happy Spring to you all!
We’ll be playing as a duo in the “OFF” festival of the Printemps de Bourges, in France. It’s the French equivalent of SXSW, we may say, so we are pretty happy about that. It will take place in the live music bar “Au Bureau” on the 14th of April, at 7:30 pm. Check it out.
Pollyanna & Joseph Fisher. She sings in English. He sings mostly in French. They share the same passion for songs, overdrived guitars and folk. They love words that mean something and complicated romances. He did the first move, she didn’t turn him down.
He offered to cover Jesus and Mary Chain’s 1994 hit, “Sometimes Always”, and she went for it. They met at her place, invited Alexperimental in for a short afternoon. Strums and vocals were in the box. She added a few guitar solos, because girls too can play solos, and he was happy with it.
Then they decided it would be fun to translate the lyrics in French. Because hey, what’s the difference between Britpop and chanson française? If you really want to know you have to try that kind of game, see how it sounds. Now tell us which one you like better ;-)
An eclectic tour calling in the south of France, in Belgium and Germany. Open air stages, biergartens, cute small venues, a farm, a forest, a brunch with friends, a multigenerational shared house… Can you feel the good vibes, dude?
