Go to a vision

2nd September 2017

The name of Xavier Boyer is naturally attached to that of Tahiti 80. The singer, author and composer, is once again making a solo journey. After Tutu to Tango signed Axe Riverboy, he will released a second album, Some / Any / New (Human Sounds) on October 20, 2017. Until then, Xavier Boyer unveiled a single, Stockholm Syndrome, a love story and a first pop title, simple, effective, falsely naive.

Xavier Boyer

From Tahiti to Stockholm

2nd September 2017

Xavier Boyer, from Tahiti 80, takes a step on his own, with a solo album to come on October 20th. Some / Any / New will be released by Human Sounds and has been recorded with ease (iPad, casiotone, groovebox ... on an 8 tracks CD). A first excerpt, "Stockholm Syndrome", is illustrated with a video made by the Frenchman himself.

Super World Indie Tunes

2nd September 2017

We’re delighted to premiere the new video by Xavier Boyer, frontman of French indie maestros Tahiti 80. This is the first cut from his new solo LP, “Some/Any/New” ,coming later in the year. Multi-instrumentalist Boyer crafted the new set using an iPad, an 8-track and a few cherished instruments (a groovebox, a guitalele and a casiotone). Stockholm Syndrome, a wistful, baroque-pop ballad with a beguiling melody is a perfect calling-card for an album that more than lives up to the promise it displays (believe us, we’ve been playing it a lot!).

In short, we are delighted to be able to show you all this and new stuff as soon as possible.

Grimme

French-O-Rama

15th July 2017

Review and interview on French-O-Rama !

Des nuages cotonneux, colorés disputant leur coin de ciel à de mornes volutes noires et blanches, et un titre positiviste annoncent d'entrée la couleur et pose le principe d'un disque haut en couleurs, apaisant et apaisé.

Dès la première écoute de ce The World Is All Wrong But It's All Right de Grimme, la promesse est tenue. Une pop vivace, vivante, touffue et chatoyante.

Grimme

A magnificent hymn to melancholy and the glory of reverie

20th June 2017

Review of the album in the Juke Box n°14 on A Vos Marques... Tapage. [...] c’est donc tout naturellement que la dimension visuelle s’est ajoutée à l’univers folk de GRIMME. « Vintage » tout en étant modernes, les onze titres de ce premier LP abordent les thèmes de la naissance et de la transition où se mêlent guitares réverbérées, synthétiseurs old- school, orchestrations cordes et cuivres qui insufflent toute leur puissance au songwriting.
