‘It’s about the woman’: Meet rising French band, Her

The future stars talk about Her Tape No.1, their influences + being mistaken for an English band

“We are focussing on Her Tape No.1. It begins by talking about the dreaming, the lust for a woman, and that’s our track ‘Quite Like’. Then you have the love encounter with ‘Five Minutes’,” reveals Her’s Victor Solf, as co-founder and fellow band leader Simon Carpentier nods in agreement. “Then you have the experience of missing someone in ‘Her’, and finally you have the wedding in ‘Union’.”

This love story EP has won a lot of hearts in France since the Rennes-based band released it on vinyl through a French indie last month. However, their first ever digital release was ‘Quite Like’ in April. Although the full EP isn’t out digitally yet, Soundcloud streams have hit over a quarter of a million across their two releases, and plays have largely come from the UK and the US. [ . . . ]

With “70 years to the West ” Gilles Servat still sings the love of his Brittany

At 70, Gilles Servat continues to tour in all the corners of Brittany and publishes an album that is the name of this show: “70 years to the West !!!”. Chantre of his region, along with a few other artists, he has done much since the 1970s to give back to his culture of letters of nobility.

Gilles Servat was not born Breton. This is an assertion that is likely to surprise many, as its name invariably evokes the land of Armor and Arvor. Certainly, his maternal family is native to the Breton Breton Croisic city, but our bard was born far in the Hautes-Pyrenees! It is now fifty years that he walks his guitar and sings his repertory inspired by the breton tradition. Enormous star in his region, he published a public album reproducing the songs of his tour on all the scenes that counts Brittany.
