Release Notes:
When everything began, Antoine Kerninon (drums) and
Benoit Guivarch (lead vocals, guitar) formed
Sherrylyn in Quimper (a small city located in
Brittany, France). Inspired by the noisy sounds of
Ride, Sonic Youth, and Mogwai, as well as calmer
music such as Kat Onoma and Arab Strap, the band
discovered its own voice, recorded an EP in Brest,
and started out on the local scene. In 2001, Benoit
moved to Paris to work on a new project, called
Carp. Inspired by his experiences in Glasgow and
Sheffield, a definitively more intimate and somber
music surfaced. For his part, Antoine discovered
the Canadian underground scene during the year he
spent in Ottawa and Montreal. In 2003, he joined
Carp, which at the time counted among its members
two new musicians, Arnaud Betrom (bass), and Julien
Choukroun (guitar). With Valerie Guillot
(keyboards, chimes), they played several times on
Parisian stages (GlazArt, Studios Campus, PopIn).
In February 2004, the group was invited to
participate in the Festival Panoramas8, with Cyann
& Ben, Rodolphe Burger, Alain Bashung and RZA,
among others. After this, they recorded several
songs for their self-produced EP, on which Melanie
Pain (Villeneuve, Nouvelle Vague) contributed.
Today, Carp has a few new faces again, with the
arrival of Christine Beunaiche (keyboards), Julien
Ribeill (guitar) and Fabrice Maria (bass). Their
influences have turned North (Sigur Ros, Silver
Mount Zion, Do Make Say Think, Low).
