You, Vicious!

Under this sneaky and vindictive name is hidden the new band of Max Balquier (vocals, guitar, bass, synthesizer) and Bren Costaire (drums), FRIGO's surviving musicians from Rennes-Britany.

Initially conceived as a solo project, Max explored and worked on the essence of electronic sounds to forge them an identity.
After having laid the foundation for a dozen tracks, he was joined by Bren and his massive drum kit.
The alchemy worked and the demos born from these sessions are completed with sharp guitars and vocals that can be nonchalant or tormented, this ending in the birth of “You, Vicious!”

Cleverly blending organic and synthetic instruments, “You, Vicious!”'s illuminated and contrasting music seduces by the richness and delicacy of its arrangements.
The ambient spleen and electronica rub shoulders with sonic extremes, viciously playing between dark and volcanic atmospheres and moments of joyful and haunting sparkles!
Feet in the lava and head in the stars...

Recorded in the band's home studios, the tracks were mixed and mastered by Sébastien Langle.
A digital EP is released on February 1st, 2018.
A first album will then be released on CD/vinyl on the Parisian label Manic Depression.
