TSM represents Monogrenade licensing/sync rights for: North America
Artist Description: Founded by Jean-Michel Pigeon in 2008, Monogrenade released their first album, Tantale, through Bonsound in March of 2011. The band then racked up performances at various important events and attracted attention from the other side of the Atlantic with their eclectic pop sung in French. French magazine Les Inrockuptibles named Monogrenade as one of the most beautiful bands of the moment.
Linking the title of the album and the music are the lyrics, which explore our human essence. We are complex beings, made up of genetic, environmental, chaotic baggage, explains singer-songwriter Jean-Michel Pigeon. We are too small (or too big) to understand all of our complexities.
This retro-futuristic complexity is emphasized by the images in the album's booklet and is also present in the instrumentation. Pushing the electro aspect of their sound, the band makes good use of old synths and a Linn Drum. The string arrangements surround the eclectic pop style, creating a profound, coherent album.
Composite is not only a musical journey, but also an exploration of the human spirit.
