MERCI LA NUIT | en

French new wave is definitly not dead!
Here we don’t talk about a music genre but an attitude, a position. From the begining in
the 50’s with the “nouvelle vague”, the aim is to find new forms beyond avant-garde and
pop-culture to express true emotions, to show the diseases of the modern world and to
challenge norms and obsolete social orders (like bourgeoisie, religion, work, art...).

French new wave is also a passion for wandering, a general tendency for detachment
and it is, of course, the DIY spirit. We can find this kind of nonconformism and this
common taste for wasted grounds in some movies of Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette or
Luis Bunuel as well as in the music of Polyphonic Size, Guerre Froide and Merci La Nuit.

Merci La Nuit first release on vinyl, this young musician from Saint-Etienne offers 6 minimal
synthpop songs filled with great sensibility (album 'Merci La Nuit'), commitment and a lot of bitter sweet humor. The music is very personal and digs up very different synth music eras, from the 80’s raw analog sounds to the digital coldness of samples and techno kicks, to the more lo-fi minimal sounds. All those elements connected together are forming the sound of the nocturnal conspiracy of Merci La Nuit. .
