Hotel Mortel - Crevecoeur

Crëvecoeur is an unusual French trio formed in 2003. Initially formed by two young multi-instrumentalists playing guitars, percussions, harmonium, trumpets and various toy-instruments, Crëvecoeur were later joined by a further violin player/multi-instrumentalist. Their songs are mostly instrumental pieces, a tribute to the glorious days of soundtrack music, yet with a pop sensibility.

Crëvecoeur have already played many shows, opening for such bands as Sophia (USA), Karate (Usa), Shannon Wright (USA) and Audrey (Sweden), Souvaris (UK), D.A.A.U (Belg) or The Servant (UK), Do Make Say Think (Ca). In 2005, their first single was released by the small independent label Euphrate Records. The first album, entitled «1» was released on March 2007 on Drella Records in collaboration with DSA; it features 10 songs recorded between their hometowns of Nancy and Paris. Crëvecoeur could be the result of the encounter between Calexico and Pascal Comelade, or Henry Mancini and The Black Heart Procession....

Live, Crëvecoeur use subtlety and a range of tones and images to create a unique atmosphere - every show is accompanied by live 8mm film projections. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
