O’s Notes: Societe Etrange is a French trio with Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (b) and Jonathan Grandcollot (d). We are immediately greeted by the pumping beats of a club scene. The krauts music is composed of simple electronic beats revolving around a heavy bass line with a hypnotic, airy feel. There are hints of reggae on “Soleil Lourd”. The mysterious “Place Saint Bruno”, “Fenetre Sur”, and “Chamber Dress” are highlights in this roots music revival.
