Biography
novö is a french music band mixing electronica, indie pop, and french spoken words. It was formed in 2000 in Toulouse (south of France), by Jean Michel Chabrel and Jérémie Guiochet, and is influenced by pop, post-rock, disco, electro, punk, and Harmony Korine movies. After several EP, novö released its first LP, "je retiens ton souffle" ("I hold your breath"), on the French label Monopsone (distributed by Green Ufos in Spain, and Cod&S in Belgium). Dancing, nervous or intimist, novo's music establishes climates mixing many influences: Blonde Redhead for the melancholic guitars, Lali puna for synthetic pop, clearers of Warp for electronic perturbations, Diabologum and their successors for French filiations.
After several concerts with bands as Piano Magic (UK), Monochrome (Germany), Arca (Fr), Angle (Fr) and two 4-EP, novo has recorded his first album entitled "je retiens ton souffle". This album is the result of a collaboration with Sylvain Closier (Sylvain Chauveau, Arca, Angle), and other musicians (drums, trumpet, vocals).
