Sometimes, when you listen to certain music, you can't help comparing the track's composition to Art. With a capital A. Take for example the tunes of this trio, Pierre & Marie: there is a real and magnificent construction and attention to detail in these songs, the style of which varies between folk and electro, via pop and even reggae. As a worthy disciple of XTC's Andy Partridge, Pierre crafts his melodies with meticulous care, injecting just the right dose of passion and mystery.

A Parisian band founded in 1998, Pierre & Marie are in fact a three-piece with Pierre on vocals & guitar, Marie on vocals & arrangements (melodica, flute & percussion) and Franck on bass & backing vocals. A trio whose Holy Trinity leaves us all moony-eyed: Brian Wilson, Lou Reed et Bob Marley. What more could you ask for?

And in fact, all these colours can be found in Pierre & Marie's music, making it original and adventurous. With more than twenty albums to date under different pseudonyms (the band also work as The Urchins and go just by their first name, Pierre), you still feel clearly that the trio are far from having said all they have to say, experimenting more and more and mashing things up. So, flourishing music, that the band regularly test live with vim and vigour.
