Rocky – Love Is A Soft Machine
Rocky is another great French band. Multi-instrumentalists Laurent Paingault and Tom Devos met in the North of France in the late 90’s and were later joined by Olivier Bruggeman. In 2010, they linked up with Inès Kikou. Raised in the Paris suburbs on a diet of R&B and most contemporary rap, she became the band’s singer.
They play their first concert in 2011, opening for The Shoes. A decisive encounter. After Rocky make a remix of The Shoes’ Time To Dance, that band’s Guillaume Brière produces Rocky’s first EP.
Now, their debut album Soft Machines is out, which was overseen by Brière as well. Love Is A Soft Machine is Rocky’s new single. A great track with a New Order-like bassline. What’s not to love about it?
