Key figure of the renewal of French minimal wave scene, Peine Perdue released 5 albums and toured extensively in Europe, Russia and Canada since 2014. Dancefloor meets reveries in the cold, melancholic but still catchy music, finding its roots in cinematographic phantasmagories, nebulous synthetic architectures and sensual minimal wave. Stephane Argillet, aka Stereovoid, artist and musician based in Berlin, composes and plays the music on the texts written and interpreted by Coco Gallo who lives in Paris. Their new LP «Tokyo en Morceaux» will be released in September 2018 on Electronic Emergencies. Partly inspired by a trip in Tokyo, the album is a magic mirror revealing the disfracted memories of a nightclub in Omotesando, a hide and seek between tombs with Shuji Terayama, a drift in Glasgow
