Mary Céleste: À la dérive

It may be farewell to Superets, but a welcome hello to Mary Céleste,  the band featuring members of
 Superets under a new banner.

The band feature sLéo Demesla,  Hugo Beauman and Romain Pavoine along with Jean-Baptiste Perona.

I've followed them as Superets and very much enjoyed their work, their infectious yéyétronique sound winning them many friends. Mary Céleste look set to continue the good work.

Their debut single À La Dérive has been produced by Yuksek and released on Disques Enterprise. It feature's on the labels new compilation Année 3

Superets: Le sang, l'argent

Continuing my look at bands I saw at last year Transmusicales festival in Rennes, I'm pleased to see a  new release by the great Superets, with the song Le sang, l'argent.

The track comes as a digital EP with the song Grand Canyon.

Their 160 Caractères Pour Te Dire Adieu song was one of my favourite form last year, the band's yéyétronique style an infectious and likable sound, and  they're a great live act.

Veuve Mécanique followed it up in style in April, the new track continues the band's campaign to conquer the world armed only with superior  quality French pop.

UPDATE: The video is now available to watch worldwide, so it's now available to watch below.

Superets play at the Boule Noir in Paris on November 4.

Superets: Veuve Mécanique

A great new song and video by Superets for the track Veuve Mécanique.

This track is every bit as catchy as its predecessor 160 caractères pour te dire adieu, and like its predecessor shows French language pop in a healthy state.

When I last wrote about Superets, I said that I was looking forward to hearing more by them this year, and this new track certainly lives up to expectations.

It's clever, catchy and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Superets were one of the live highlights for me last year, catching them at the Rencontres Trans Musicales in Rennes in December, and their live adventures have continued this year, with a set in Paris to mark Disquaire Day on Saturday.

They play at the Prentemps de Bourges event on April 25, and have dates around France in May.

Superets - 160 caractères pour te dire adieu

A great video Superets for the track 160 Caractères Pour Te Dire Adieu.

The band play a genre they call yéyétronique, a pretty apt description for their modern take on classic French pop.

The song features on a four track EP that came out at the end of January on Enterprise Records.

The band featured on the les InRocks lab Volume 2 compilation which came out in December last year alongside the likes of Moodoid, Le Vasco and Rhume.

I saw Superets live in December in their hometown, and the're a great act to see if you get the chance.

They were a hugely entertaining and engaging act, and I look forward to hearing more by them this year.
