DEMODUFF #1
Grimoon’s first EP consists of seven songs written in one go and recorded on an 8-track on a winter night. The record brings together the enthusiasm and spontaneity of six musicians who, coming from different musical backgrounds, have aligned to create an unusual, lonely, bare sound that already looks towards Europe. For each song there is a self-produced short film.

2. Luxure et passion
3. La tête dans les parapluies
4. Due di notte
5. Chloé

LA LANTERNE MAGIQUE
The band’s first official record includes an entirely self-produced movie. The relationship between cinema and music is consolidated and gives life to this record which recounts original and bizarre characters, in French and Italian. Weaving reality and fiction together, lulled by the sounds and mood of the melody, the lyrics, written and sung by Solenn Le Marchand, are the most intimate expression of feelings and images captured between France and Italy.

LES 7 VIES DU CHAT
Grimoon’s second official record involves the collaboration of many Italian and international artists. Produced by Giovanni Ferrario, “Le 7 vies du chat” comprises the catchy indie-rock manifesto “La Compagnie des Chats Noirs,” later reprised in Italian with the collaboration of Tre Allegri Ragazzi Mort. The songs alternate more distinctly rock rhythms and psychedelic hints that will be further developed by the band in future studio works. In addition to the original sextet, Pall Jenkins and Scot Mercado of Black Heart Procession, TARM, Marta Collica, some Mariposa, and Thibaut Derien join in the album.

VERS LA LUNE
The songs in Vers la lune mix the Anglo American folk rock matrix with a particular 70s psychedelic imprint which recalls influences of groups such as Pink Floyd’s “More” period and the darker period of Flaming Lips. But there are also strong echoes of recorded electronics with the thick analog instrumentation that Grimoon have collected over the years (mainly Moog and Mellotron) and of unhinged orchestrations made in collaboration with their friend Enrico Gabrielli (Mariposa, Caliber 35 and many others). The other inevitable international guests are Pall Jenkins, historical singer and leader of The Black Heart Procession (the voice in the first song “Flying away from you” and the musical saw in “Goodybe”) and Scott Mercado, multifaceted American instrumentalist, leader of the Manuok.
