MINITEL ROSE RELEASE SECOND ALBUM: ATLANTIQUE

French electro trio Minitel Rose have teamed up with the legendary K7! Records to release their much anticipated second album Atlantique on the 22nd November. The follow up to their critically acclaimed first album, The French Machine (Futur, 2008) is an interesting affair. The bands love of rock influenced drums and electro synths means that their sound falls between the two genres sounding retro and futuristic at the same time.

While The French Machine was largely the product of computer technology, we can see the growth in the music of Minitel Rose. Firstly through their experimentation with analog equipment on Atlantique and also through the development of their fantastic stage show. Currently Minitel Rose’s live show consists of a drummer and three live synths. “It’s a real rock gig. We use synths but no computers or tapes. It’s all energy and sweat,” Quentin says.

Minitel Rose have just taught climate change a lesson: only one season is ever worth living. A never-ending summer with a clear blue sky, cradled with Atlantique’s electronic flows.
