Music Event: aMinus [+ FREE DL]

aMinus is the first artist, part of the MUSIC EVENT on Grateful Grapefruit. I am really pleased to present to you ALMOST AND MAYBE – the debut album of Valentin Plessy – a very pleasant young gentleman from France and member of the electro-punk band Plateau Repas. aMinus experiments with electro-pop. His first album Almost and Maybe is the result of his craving for synth pop 80s, house music, r’n’b and also 8bit sounds. For your direct dose of aMinus scroll down to hear the whole album and download for free the debut single BILLY.

After spending a couple of months recovering from Berlin in Paris, he is ready to take over the city once again. Valentin is born in Deauville (France) in 1983, went to school in Pont-Audemer (provincial town in Normandy) then to Rouen (capital city of Normandy) where he first attended English studies (literature + civilization) which is also why he is one of the best English speaking Frenchmen I’ve ever met. Then Valentin attended acting school at the Conservatory Of Rouen. He records everything with his laptop, a soundcard and a microphone, in his bedroom which makes his music feel really intimate and gives you a voyeuristic feeling about it. He also eats crunchy muesli with soy milk while recording.

BILLY is the first single off the record accompanied by the following video:
