French laidback quartet Feutre have found a way to combine jazzy vocals and retro-pop, with touches of early Bowie and the carefree arts for arts sake attitude of Serge Gainsbourg. Multi-instrumentalst Michaël Korchia and singer Virginie Raynaud bonded over a shared love for soft-spoken melodies in 2019 and started writing the material that is now available on the debut album, Nos rencontres.
With the addition of two guitarists - Pierre Cazal and Olivier Dubarry (who also brought in his Farfisa organ) they serve up a full-course meal of tasty pop songs about awkward circumstances and things going terribly wrong, without letting it getting them down. There is always a new evening (Encore un soir) or a trip to look forward to (Un jour nouveau) with fresh opportunities.
Feutre:
Virginie Raynaud: vocals
Michaël Korchia: bass, guitar, keyboards, programming
Olivier Dubarry: guitar, Farfisa
Pierre Cazal: guitar
Nos rencontres is released via Kocliko (CD, digital).
