Génial au Japon
About the artist
GÉNIAL AU JAPON, initiated by Blandine Peis and Émeline Marceau in early 2016, represents a vibrant addition to Bordeaux's artistic scene through their involvement with the Collectif du Fennec.
Their music is a fusion of indie-pop, rock, and electronic elements, where groovebox rhythms pulse without overwhelming the senses. Celestial synths intertwine with thick basslines, while guitars oscillate between loose melodies and bursts of raw, energetic distortion, creating an ever-evolving sonic landscape.
Génial au Japon's artistic vision revolves around themes of kitsch, self-mockery, and shared experiences, all enveloped in music that elicits a journey through diverse emotions. Their sound effortlessly channels pop sensibilities in their infectious choruses, rock energy in their rhythmic structures, and electro nuances in their intricate arrangements.
Drawing inspiration from both retro aesthetics with nods to 90s sounds and contemporary production techniques, Génial au Japon crafts polished musical productions that seamlessly blend the old with the new. Their multidimensional approach extends beyond just music, as they integrate a visual dimension into their artistic project, reflected in the unique scenography of their live performances.

Portraits
In "Portraits", Génial au Japon presents a strange and poetic family picture that highlights "the human" through 5 unique portraits. Each song has a name and is an invitation to the intimate. The different characters are confronted with their own paradoxes and loneliness.Five songs with the effigy of a melancholy pop that skillfully mixes music with images, since a long concept video accompanies the EP in the form of a short film describing these five songs as chapters that follow each other. From Blonde Redhead to Radiohead via LCD Soundsystem, the duo shed light on a whole section of the pop, rock, and electro heritage of the 2000s and 2010s in their inhabited songs that nourish dreams as well as reality.
