Pharaon De Winter (CD)

Die Band um Maxime Chamoux bewegt sich zwischen US-Rock wie Spoon und Neutral Milk Hotel und dem sophisticated British Pop wie Prefab Sprout oder XTC. " Love will remember Pharaon de Winter " is said at the end of the record. Pharaon de Winter was a painter from North of France, who lived from the end of the XIXth century to the beginning of the XXth century. Today, Pharaon de Winter is reappearing again. It's a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. Past leader of both bands Toy Fight and (Please), Maxime Chamoux was playing since now a genre between North American rock of Spoon and Neutral Milk Hotel, and sophisticated British pop from Prefab Sprout or XTC. We find today in this new project songs navigating between French, for most part, and English. Partners and friends since a long time, Thomas Pirot at the drums and Raphael Ankierman at the bass are playing alongside FX Guéant-Mata at the guitar. We also find Mina Tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. At last we don't forget the goldsmith's talent of Canadian musician Sandro Perri who's joining the band, highly recommended by Pitchfork magazine with his album Impossible Spaces in 2011.
