The band is inspired by artists such as <em>Agnès Obel</em>, <em>Aaron</em>  and <em>Woodkid</em> as well as classic references like <em>Queen</em>, <em>Pink Floyd, Radiohead</em> or <em>Jeff Buckley</em>, producing a lyrical and poetic sound focused on the piano and the vocals.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Kmeron8-1432654602" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202951/kmeron8-1432654602.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> We founded this collective in Brussels at the end of 2011. After a promising debut, and a second place at the <em>Francofolies de Spa</em>’s contest, a first self-produced EP is released with the song <em>Run</em> as a single:</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FyHSkV-j442c%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DyHSkV-j442c&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FyHSkV-j442c%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> From 2012 to 2014, stages have been getting bigger and bigger for the band, (Botanique, VK, Ferme Du Biéreau…etc), including a lot of support acts (<em>Kodaline, Birdpen, Stereo Grand, Perry Rose</em>…). The band’s line-up has always been evolving as we crossed the road of new musicians. Our musical universe has taken a deeper colour, and the time for the making of a new release has come. We really believe that making a condensed 5 tracks EP, with a strong image and identity, is the necessary step if we want to reach a bigger audience and prepare the public for a future complete album. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Cover_bandsintown-1432659863" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202978/cover_bandsintown-1432659863.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> The first single from this EP has been released in january 2015 and is called <em>A Sunny Morning</em>. It has been produced by the Flemish artist Koen Gisen, husband and producer of <em>An Pierlé</em>, bringing to the song another main influence of ours. This particular song gathers the band, a string quartet and an old harmonium from the 19th century. This song is already very welcomed by the Medias and is currently played on two national radios (<em>Classic 21, La Première</em>). The music video, completely conceived by the band (story board, scenery…) and directed by Alain Clément, shows well the artistic direction taken by the band for this new record:</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FADVRoGyFDHw%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DADVRoGyFDHw&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FADVRoGyFDHw%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> Here is the spirit we want to give to our new EP: gathering old and modern sounds, mixing catchy and strong melodies with dark and heavy pianos, moving from powerful drums and guitars to <em>A Capella</em> choirs in a few seconds. In the end we want to make five songs that take you to a trip through all kind of emotions. To make this beautiful CD, to give it a singular visual universe and to make a good promotion for all that work, we need your help.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The work has already begun, help us to finish it!</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Recording piano in Gent, November 2014</p> <p> <img alt="1533804_746253328777100_5397501432298007688_n-1432576422" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202542/1533804_746253328777100_5397501432298007688_n-1432576422.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> On stage at Les Nuits Botanique, May 2015</p> <p> <img alt="Photo_e-houssi_re1-1432576597" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202547/Photo_E-Houssi_re1-1432576597.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Working on the preparation of A Sunny Morning's video</p> <p> <img alt="Dessins-1432576327" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202541/dessins-1432576327.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Shooting "A sunny morning"' video</p> <p> <img alt="_mg_3427-1432576791" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/202550/_MG_3427-1432576791.JPG"></p> <p>  </p>
