Recorded live (at Mer Noir studio in Paris and then at Mélodium in Montreuil), Grive’s debut “Tales of Uncertainty” captures the excitement and spontaneity of a meeting, revealing an unmatched chemistry.
Shoegaze? Slowcore? Post-folk? The genre doesn’t matter. Deeply organic, Grive’s compositions evoke liminal spaces and vast landscapes. Influenced by the sound of the 90s, their ambivalent nature is resolutely contemporary: by turns sharp with their edgy guitar riffs or soothing with the thick, round bass of a Moog synthesizer. Here, the storm threatens (or is it the heart rumbling?). There, the melodies with clear lines and poisonous beauty insinuate themselves into languid and haunting tempos. And as a guiding thread, Agnès’s voice speaks directly to our subconscious reveries, in that fine line between dream and reality where everything is uncertain.
Grive’s music has no clock. But it does something with time. “Wait & See” is its cautious yet ambitious motto.
