J.C. SATÀN

Bordeaux, France

Arthur Satan (also of MEATARDS from France), the principal songwriter in the band, together with lyricist Paula H. (from Turin, Italy), have concocted a swirling mix of lyrically abstract songs with themes ranging from morning-after sex in a drug haze to fighting one’s way out of Hell. Musical similarities to Thee Oh Sees can be pinpointed, but in concept alone. This is by no means a band who’s latching on to a current sound in any way. J.C. Satan has avoided trends and triteness to develop into a completely mature unit, defining their own style, and have wound up in a league of their own. The melodies have more in common with the dark psych of Can, Os Mutantes, The Beatles and perhaps even Pink Floyd at their moodiest.
