From Noisy-le-Sec on the outskirts of Paris, Hermes Baby<\/strong> is a true DIY lo-fi project by two suburban dwellers made on cheap instruments, an old macintosh and a camera. that\u2019s what their short description on social media states. The pair of twenty-somethings would spend a lot of time in their parents cellar\/basement, carving sounds with the little equipment they\u2019d managed to scour from friends.<\/p>\n

Their sound is also unique, because of where they come from primarily, Noisy-le-sec is a suburban town that is somewhat left out from the \u2018in\u2019 Parisian scene as the duo described to Clique.tv<\/a> so cleverly\u2026 \u201cThey don\u2019t go out every evening, they are left to find creative ways to escape an otherwise bland daily routine\u201d. Instead, they meet up, make music, stunning videos (see below) and end up trumping the rest of their fellow frenchies by churning out super tunes at a steady pace.<\/p>\n

Hermes Baby<\/strong> have got a signature sound. Discover it below\u2026 We especially love \u201cLa Chute (Zizou 2006)\u201d depicting the fall of a French football icon Zinedine Zidane\u2026 It threw us back, wayyyy back and made us have chills of what used to be\u00a0a better country.<\/p>\n

Hermes Baby<\/strong> is the name of an old 80\u2019s typewriter they first came across in a friend\u2019s attic. They immediately adopted the name for their musical project. Songwriting and rhythm takes on contemporaries such as Taxi Girl. It\u2019s dark-pop at its best, sharp lyrics, ethereal guitars and killer electronic beats make them the rising band in the region. Note, that they also sing in English, opening the borders for them.<\/p>\n
