Flora (DE) / EggS (FR)

Description

The Stuttgart band Flora sounds as if it has been catapulted directly from the indie scene of the late 80s, around labels like Sarah Records, into the present day. The quartet, led by the namesake singer Flora, generously throws around flawless pop songs. The melodies found on the 2023 EP Time Stops immediately embed themselves in the memory of receptive listeners with dreamlike precision. About 30 years ago, bands like The Ladybug Transistor or Camera Obscura were already working on a similarly disarming pop concept. Next spring, Flora's debut album Five Years (Treibender Teppich Records) will be released, continuing to refine the perfect pop song in line with this tradition. Eggs is a Parisian indie rock band formed in 2017 by Charles Daneau (guitar, vocals), Grégoire Bayart (drums), Léo Deville (keyboards), and Manolo Freitas (bass). The initial tracks leaned towards jangle pop and lo-fi post-punk, reminiscent of bands like Television Personalities or The Clean. After releasing three EPs between 2018 and 2019, Rémi Studer joined on drums, and Grégoire Bayart switched to guitar. The band's sound evolved to include influences from indie rock bands like The Replacements or Guided by Voices. The group's first album A Glitter Year was released in 2022 with contributions from Margaux Bouchaudon (vocals, guitar) and Camille Fréchoux (saxophone and trumpet) from the band En Attendant Ana. This occasional participation turned into a long-term collaboration. In 2023, Erica Ashleson (vocals) and Cyprien Vandenbussche (saxophone) joined the project. The band released its new album Crafted Achievement in November 2024 with the addition of Côme Ranjard on steel guitar.
