GRIMOON The ideal atmosphere for Grimoon, band from Mestre that started in 2003, would seem to be the one of the live act, with no importance whatsoever if it takes place on the street, in a circus or below a starry sky. The eight songs of "Demoduff # 1" bring the listener into a sonic limbo made of gloomy, but at the same time smiling, features; the ups and downs of the moods depend on the matching of instruments such as accordion and violin to romantic settings emphasized by the use of the French language (that prevails on Italian and English). A journey beyond the stars.

Grimoon hail from Italy and play an intriguing, soft version of pop. They sing in French and Italian and English and that makes for interesting listening. "Luxure et passion" is gorgeous and sweet, the violin and dual male/female vocals make it great.
"La Fete dans les parapluies" has a distinctly European air to it. Its lovely melody and the use of mostly acoustic instruments ensure a unique quality. The mysterious, shimmering "Chloé" is followed by a rare foray into English, "I'm Looking for Paris". It's a strange little album, but very likeable.

This album by French/Italian band Grimoon is accompanied by a dvd, containing a strange, but funny thriller-movie. You can see a trailer on their website. Grimoon uses video a lot during their show, I'm told. Which makes sense, their acoustic music is very filmic and atmospherical. Think Mexican border town, late afternoon, sad men in a bar, a beautiful woman passing by, that mood. If you can't get Calexico to do the filmscore, call Grimoon. But don't expect great songs; nothing really stands out on this album. "Moka" has the potential of great popsong, but needs more melody or a better bridge, whilst "Même Les Mains Vieillissent" could be a sultry ballad - if it were shorter, tighter.
