White Note
"Alternant passages aériens et rythmiques hypnotiques, les compositions de White Note pourraient s'inscrire dans une mouvance atmospheric-rock. Elles brassent diverses influences, de Radiohead à Sigur Rós, en incluant des sonorités nouvelles et une certaine recherche structurelle, tout en flirtant avec la pop.
Leur premier album "Undo Me" vous plongera dans une ambiance aux différentes teintes dont le fil blanc sera la voix, souvent fragile, parfois torturée, toujours mélancolique.
L'EP "AMITO" quant à lui laisse entrevoir les prémisses d'un second album, plus mélodique et entrainant, s'ouvrant sur les possibilités d'instrumentarium diverses."
Chinese Robots
In 2011, after two years of constructing and subsequently deconstructing his brand of British pop-influenced chemical noise-rock, Pierre-H formed Chinese Robots. With four other musicians, Chinese Robots is a fully mastered sonic force. The band deliberately blurs boundaries across indie (dEUS, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Sigur ros or Radiohead), industrial electro rock (Nine Inch Nails, Unkle, Soulwax, Massive Attack, Death in Vegas), the seventies (Franck Zappa, Brian Eno, Captain Beefheart) and the eighties (Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Division). The result is a rich, surprising rock sound: soaring, danceable, noisy...yet somehow, resolutely pop.
In 2012, Chinese Robots recorded six powerful new demos, reflecting the band’s more rock’n’roll orientation, without losing their signature synthetic, ethereal sound. The first two songs were released on vinyl in June 2013 by Mind Riot Music and received the praises of the critics: “Magic”, “A must see”, “Rock made in France”...
