Aquaserge 1

The group was formed around three dissident musicians from the French group Hyper clean, in 2005: Julien Barbagallo:drums, voice / Julien Gasc (Stereolab): keyboards, guitars, bass, voice / Benjamin Glibert, guitar, bass,voice. The split was a chance for them to explore certain unknown, or little known, pockets of rock. A mixture of profound influences was thus established; navigating knowingly between kraut giants such as Neu ! and Faust, Anglo Saxon pop, Soft Machine, Zappa.

They produced three albums between 2005 and 2008, (the first, “Tahiti Coco” came out in September 2008 also on Manimal Vinyl LP only). They push the already elastic boundaries of the classic pop/rock formation (guitar, bass, keyboards, drums) just that little bit further each time. Aquaserge sings an epic tale. A strange, underwater mythology is woven from one opus to the next — that of the charming Serge, survivor and savant, who wanders in the abyss aboard his cigar-shaped submarine.
