Frank Rabeyrolles + France de Griessen

FRANK RABEYROLLES (F): A modern-day minstrel, Montpellier-based Frank Rabeyrolles explores a subtle blend of ethereal folk and psychedelia. Over the past fifteen years, he has released numerous albums under his own name or under the pseudonyms Franklin and Double U. He evokes Palace and Smog, wide-open spaces and the soundtracks of independent filmmakers from all horizons. https://frankrabeyrolles.bandcamp.com/album/your-dream “Listening to the album, the notion of time escapes us.… Franck Rabeyrolles' pure voice makes us fly above the vast spaces of his imagination, between psychedelia and romanticism.” FIP, FR

FRANCE DE GRIESSEN (B/F): The globetrotter France de Griessen has just released “Dawn Breakers” (Prohibited Records), a stripped-down album consisting of ten guitar/voice compositions resembling mantras. Love songs or fiery prayers? Words bleed and spectres hover. Clouds are savoured like candy floss and the snow is blue. France's witch folk traverses the elements, the body, the heart, time… And elevates souls. https://francedg.bandcamp.com/album/dawn-breakers “The whole draws from the romantic neo-Medieval English universe as well as from Johnny Thunders' Punk ballads, Donovan's melancholy… or Nico's dark hours.” Vinyle et Audio, F

“His most stripped-down and most beautiful sound. His romantic Folk, irritated by the black blood of Punk, is brought back to its essence.” Magic, F

“A female Kurt Cobain” Black Sifichi, Audiometric, UK
