Génial au Japon

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.
