Moriarty
Gee Whiz, But This Is A Lonesome Town
Moriarty is made up of five artists of French, American, Swiss and Vietnamese origin. The group was named Moriarty in reference to Dean Moriarty, the hero of On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Moriarty’s music is a sweet musical anachronism. It could have been inspired by American and Irish folk, but also blues from the south of United States and even by country music. But it's difficult to describe Moriarty only with these few words, each songs tells a story, occasionally true, often false, but always intense. The band members all live in their own creative universe they called Moriartyland.
Cocoon
All My Friends All Died In A Plane Crash
Two sublime voices that seem made to blend together, an acoustic guitar bursting forth with powerful arpeggios, poignant keyboards and even a catchy ukulele from time to time... Almost nothing and yet it goes straight to the heart, everywhere that they play... Introducing Cocoon.
Unstoppable melodies, melancholic or airy texts and moving pieces that almost immediately enter the personal pantheon of all pop-folk fans... And Cocoon has only just begun its musical adventures!
Cocoon is a two-piece French band formed in 2006 by Mark Daumail ( composition, lead vocals, acoustic guitar, ukelele, banjo, beatbox, etc.) and Morgane Imbeaud (vocal harmonies, keyboards, arrangements).“Basically, Cocoon’s musical inspiration goes all the way from groups like The Pentangle and Fairport Convention right through to the ‘new folk’ movement that surfaced around the beginning of 2000 with artists like CocoRosie, Devendra Banhart and Sufjan Stevens.”
