'Coucou'

“Coucou”, the quasi-Californian lead track, with its soft bassline and beaming guitars, sets the tone for Banane Bleue perfectly. With emotional connections and misunderstandings at its heart, it details the end of a failing relationship whilst exploring the nuances of the French language. “I hate this word, “coucou” (which loosely translates as ‘hey there’ in French)” Frànçois Marry notes, “because, for me, it expresses a form of indifferent, slightly fake naivety.

George Fitzgerald ‘Ultraviolet’

Creative direction by David Rudnick & Chris Shier

UK electronic lynchpin George FitzGerald returns with his first official taste of solo music in three years, a brand new single titled “Ultraviolet”.

An effervescent cut of sprawling electronica, the track applies FitzGerald’s visionary scope to a vast soundscape. Offsetting those expansive textures with high tempo percussion and hyperactive synth tones, “Ultraviolet” instils a true sense of wonder from the outset – born from a moment of intergalactic inspiration within his own ...
