Release Notes:
Double U, Franck Rabeyrolles' musical project, was born in
Montpellier (South of France) in 2002. Franck belongs to a
generation cradled with Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream,Byrds,
or Leonard Cohen, for him music is a way of life. This
project has germinated all along his musical career not
only in bands (as drummer, guitarist, singer), or in radio
shows, but also as a DJ or even as a record retailer (Wool
Music in Montpellier). His first album ½ Life behind the
window ╗ was signed on Jazzanova record label Sonar
kollektiv and helped him to reach interesting
international distribution.Then He produced his second
Label ½ A bottle in the sea ╗ for Karat records the French
╗ minimal electronic Champions ╗. This new work is
supported by the french Label and distributor Nocturne.His
music has been discribed at the beguining as a crossover
of Folk and electronica ànot so far from the Boards of
Canada,or Savath and Savalas à.it moved slowly into a more
intimistic ,poetic musicàvery difficult to classify .with
deep vocals and more and more acoustic parts. ╗The
imaginary Band ╗ this new album has been recorded with
Jazz musicians ..Michel Benita for example( who played
with Aldo Romano ,Eric Truffaz,Arshie Shepp) plays double
bass on most of the songs.ItÆs a very melodic album with
smooth vibes ,cello and clarinet interventions.Each song
is more organic ,and more ½ song writing ╗ orientedàà
Double u Æs music seems more and more accomplished
,poetic,modern, à..when folk music meets pop and
electronics in a subtle conbination.to create something
sincere and charming Very Selective discography ½ life
