C.A.R.: (Minor) Growing Pains

A new track has emerged by C.A.R., the electro project featuring Chloé Raunet, formerly the singer of Battant.

She released her debut My Friend under the C.A.R. name in 2014, the new track comes ahead of the release of her second.

It features on a mix tape released by RONiiA. The video was shot in Canada, where Raunet was born.

I've featured C.A.R. before on this blog, Raunet being based in London has helped them appear regularly in front of a UK audience and establish their reputation for off-beat electronics.

C.A.R. - Live in London

A gig in London tonight by C.A.R., and electro act I've featured before on this blog.

Chloé Raunet was previously part of Battant, a band that never got to realise their potential following the death of Joel Dever, Raunet's partner in the act, at the age of 25 in 2011.

She released The Idle Eyes EP under the C.A.R. name at the end of September last year, and since then the My Friend album has been released.

2015 saw the release of the four track Glock'D EP in March.

I caught C.A.R. live in Rennes in December, when they played as part of the Bars en Trans festival, where acts play the smaller venues of the city while the transmusicales festival is on.

New acts: C.A.R.

A chance to see electro act C.A.R. in London tonight, exactly the kind of new act I'm keen to feature this month on this blog.

C.A.R. are a project by Chloe Raunet, who prevously sang with London based electronic act Battant.
Battant were a very promising act, until the death of Joel Dever, Raunet's partner in the act, at the age of 25 in 2011.

Raunet release The Idle Eyes EP under the C.A.R. name at the end of September last year, and since then the My Friend album has been released.

Although london based for many years, Raunet was born in Canada and lived in Marseille.

I saw them play in Rennes in December,  a gig that saw them overcome some serious technical problems.

They're not the easiest act to search for on Google either.

But perseverence brings rewards, C.A.R. 's classy electro pop is reward indeed.

C.A.R. play Birthdays at 33-35 Stoke Newington Road
