The original version of L’Impératrice’s first album « Matahari » is finally out in the US !

“Impératrice” is French for “Empress”, and if their name is a difficult thing to grasp for anglophones, musically there’s nothing that doesn’t translate. Drawing from a range of genres, from 70s space disco to 90s synth pop, taking in French film composers like François de Roubaix and Michel Legrand along the way, the 6 Parisians have become a cornerstone of the reinvigorated French pop-music scene. Matahari is a glittering, cinematic summation of six years hard work that draws on some of the finest found sounds and forgotten sonic fandangos hiding in crates across the land, all given L’Impératrice’s own inimitable 21st century twist. In 2019 they released a limited international edition of their first album Matahari and now they are making the original version available on CD in the US which includes the original French versions of their songs : Erreur 404, Paris, Matahari (Le Retour) and Masques.
