about
[BIO]
*CERCUEIL : pronounced “Sir coil”, means "coffin"...in french.
Ghost opera, still life poetry and black divas's rage who break the crystal, CERCUEIL sounds like opioid sensuality, electro sewn with gold thread, noisy new-wave and icy core.
Created in 2005 by Nico Devos and Penelope Michel, CERCUEIL is a french trio from Lille (FR) who has just released its second album “EROSTRATE” on french label LE SON DU MAQUIS (distribution Harmonia Mundi in France, V2 for the Benelux, Proper for the UK), recorded at Toy Box studio in Bristol (Uk) by Alister Chant (Gravenhurst, Scout Niblett) and masterised by Bob Weston (Lcd sound system, Fuck buttons...)
Since 2012, CERCUEIL is touring with an original scenographic device based on videos screening : Synchronized to the music, the videos are the subconscious and extension of the musical atmosphere, just to go further in the immersion.
As well as extensively touring Europe (France, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Netherland, Germany, Danmark) with bands like BLACK DICE, ALAN VEGA, The YOUNG GODS, PVT, ANIKA, The EX, Pantha du Prince, Who Made Who, Zombie Zombie, The Hundred in the hands, Ebony Bones, High Places, Glasser,... and festivals (M pour Montreal 2011/CA, Pop Montréal 2010/CA, Transmusicales de Rennes/Fr, Printemps de Bourges/Fr, festival JIMI/Fr, Pampa festival/D, festival La petite invite les Nuits Sononres/Fr, Recession Festival/Dn, The GREAT ESCAPE 2012/Uk, etc...)
Cercueil's members (N.Devos & P.Michel) have worked on several side projects in contemporary arts including audio and visual installations, composing soundscapes and soundtracks to movies, performances, animation movies and general electronic experimentation and interpretation... Some of those works can be found under the name of PUCE MOMENT.
