L'Imperatrice
Matahari 2LP

“Imperatrice” is French for “Empress”, and if their name is a diffcult thing to grasp for anglophones, musically there’s nothing that doesn’t translate. Drawing from a range of genres, from 70s space disco to downtempo 90s synth pop, taking in French film composers like Francois de Roubaix and Michel Legrand along the way, the 5 Parisians have become a cornerstone of the rein-invigorated French pop-music scene.

Matahari is a glittering, cinematic summation of six years hard work that draws on some of the finest found sounds and forgotten sonic fandangos hiding in crates across the land, all given L’Imperatrice’s own inimitable 21st century twist.
