Slowmotion Club

**Slowmotion Club** is a French indie duo hailing from Nantes, known for their moody blend of post-punk, synth-pop, and garage rock. Formed in the mid-2010s by Maxx (vocals/guitar) and Vincent D (bass/synths), the band crafts brooding yet danceable tracks with a DIY edge, often self-producing their music and visuals. Their sound—think Joy Division meets LCD Soundsystem—pairs gritty basslines, icy synths, and deadpan vocals with lyrics that dissect modern anxieties, political tension, and existential musings.

Recent releases like *Atlas 1* (2021) and the politically charged double single *The Presidential Dilemma / Bombing Buses* showcase their knack for merging catchy hooks with dark, sardonic commentary. Slowmotion Club’s live shows amplify their raw energy, earning them slots at European festivals and a cult following drawn to their unpolished charm. They’ve stayed fiercely independent, releasing music via labels like Howlin’ Banana Records while keeping their mystique intact—no frills, just fuzzy guitars and sharp wit.
