SLUMB - Play Dead (Album)

Draped in an adventurous poetry, Slumb explores a musical universe made of sobriety and vaporous harmonies. The duo release their new album “Play Dead” on the Banzaï Lab label.

As if Erik Satie met Burial, the melodies of the pianist Julien Marchal marry the instrumentals of the producer Senbeï in an Electronica tinged with melancholy pop.

Julien Marchal and Senbeï meet in 2019 in Bordeaux. From home Julien has been composing, recording and releasing his own solo piano albums for several years on the label he runs: Whales Records. A few million streams later, his curiosity and his talents as a producer lead him to work on 2 Steve Aoki albums, far from the classical / pop compositions of his solo albums. It is this same desire to always seek other sources of inspiration that drives him to contact Senbeï in 2019.

Everyone's unique brand is found in SLUMB . Senbeï's electronic sound explorations with Asian accents harmonize flawlessly with Julien Marchal's refined piano . Far beyond the aesthetic patchwork, the involvement of the two musicians in the entire creative process, both in the production and in the harmonies or the choice of textures, weaves a cocoon from which a unique work emerges.
