Formed in Lyon by Antoine Bellini, Romain Hervault and Jonathan Grandcollot, the trio has spent more than a decade crafting instrumental music driven by repetition, motion and hypnosis. Drums, bass, synthesizers and electronic processing blend together to create compositions that move like nocturnal convoys: slowly, steadily, toward an uncertain horizon.
Société étrange are asking the important questions : How much is too much ? How little is too little ? Poly-rhythmathematic loops and cycledelic repetitititititititions … From Au Revoir (2015)a minimalist, hypnotic early manifesto to Chance (2022), where the trio embraces a more expansive sound fueled by dub and polymetric rhythms, and finally to Heat (2026), a more melodic and cinematic exploration, Société Étrange’s three albums trace a coherent and distinctive trajectory

New project by Rémy Venant (La Jungle) and Christian Garcia-Gaucher (Meril Wubslin). The Brussels duo explores a form of particularly repetitive modern folk. A lyrical kraut where guitar and stripped-down drums combine with a succession of brass, percussion and sampled keyboards that accumulate and organize themselves. The organic drone takes its time, unfolds a few lyrics smoothly, then gives way to long rhythmic textures that last, intensify and culminate. Discover them before the release of their first album expected very soon.
