Mahogany (US) + Healees (FR) + Les Nuits Primitives (FR)

Mahogany (US)

Mahogany dovetails elements of post-punk, shoegaze, disco and classical into futuristic, architectural, symphonic compositions. Duo Andrew Prinz and Jaclyn Slimm combine vocals, twin 12-string guitars, massive bass, densely-sequenced rhythms, and a variety of synthesizers and samplers for an immersive effect known as the "Hypercube."

The Mahogany discography already comprises two critically-acclaimed full-length albums The Dream of the Modern Day and Connectivity!, as well as numerous singles, EPs and compilation tracks collected on the double-disc Memory Column.

Production, design, and remixes for artists including Ulrich Schnauss, The Veldt, and Lovesliescrushing aside, more recent Mahogany work includes an expansive 8-minute composition “Phase Break” and the limited deluxe vinyl single “A Scaffold,” hailed by Brooklyn Vegan as “a real zoomer with atmospheric vapor trails wrapping around its ethereal melody.”

Performing live with artists like Anika, Jonathan Bree, Vampire Weekend, Spoon, Bloc Party, Interpol, Luna, and Broadcast, Mahogany garners reviews and features in Pitchfork, The Wire, The New York Times, NME, Guardian, ZOO Magazine, and more.

Healees (FR)  

Healees was formed in Paris by American expat Bryan Quinn and Breton  transplant Renaud Chaure in 2016. Joined by swedish born Hillevi Robertsson on  bass and belgian/chinese Arthur Chen on drums, the five-nationality 4-piece blen shoegaze, new wave, noise and power pop into a style as mesmerizing as it is  catchy.  

A set of demos in 2020 led to a self-titled maxi-EP on Toulouse’s Hidden Bay  Records in 2022, with a full-length LP released in october 2024 by Hidden Bay  Records, Safe Suburban Home Records and Indie or Die Records. 

Healees has been described as ‘21st-century shoegazers amazingly as great as 1988-1995’s originals” (the Big Takeover), ‘the best shoegaze band in France’ (Paris Popfest), and ‘one of the most interesting bands on the European scene in recent years‘ (JustAnotherPopSong). 

Les Nuits Primitives  

Inspiré.e.s par la richesse sonore du shoegaze, les contrastes expressifs du rock  progressif et la puissance rythmique des musiques traditionnelles, les six  musiciens et musiciennes des Nuits Primitives recherchent la transe. Tiraillé entre la beauté d'une mélodie pop et la subtilité des disharmonies noïse, le  groupe place les percussions au premier plan pour faire danser les corps et  transporter les esprits.
