Биография

Grimoon formed in 2004 and have always combined images with their music. Their successful EP Demoduff, released in 2004 by Macaco Records, led them to perform immediately all over Europe, all the way to the Sziget Festival in Budapest. They subsequently recorded five albums: La lanterne magique (2006), Les 7 vies du chat (2008), Super 8 (2010), Le deserteur (2012) and Vers La lune (2016), collaborating with producers such as John Ferrario (Scisma, PJ Harvey, John Parish) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession). Most of their concerts have been performed abroad rather than in Italy, with over ten tours in Germany and performances as far away as in London and the United States. They have also always made a short film for each song, resulting in the production of some 40 shorts. The band members have changed over time. The original lineup was more folk, with the violin and the accordion that over the years have been replaced by the electric guitar and the synth for a more punchy, rock and psychedelic sound. Solenn Le Marchand (vocals, synth), Alberto Stevanato (vocals, acoustic guitar), and Alberto De Grandis (guitar) remained from the original lineup. Grimoon returns in 2023 with a new album "Clair obscur" for the label La Tempesta, followed by images from the animated film "Alan's Journey" which deals with the topic of migration. The new project supports the actions of rescue at sea by the NGO Mediterranea.
