Shoefiti
THE BAND
Shoefiti is strongly influenced by the nineties indie rock scene and draws inspiration from the soundscapes created by Stephen Malkmus, Elliott Smith and indie rock.
The aim of Shoefiti is to make beautiful music even though we're not virtuosos. We play and compose with a lot of attention within our own personal clumsy style. We like the idea that there might be something charming or moving in what we do because we do it with heart and commitment.
If you have ten minutes take a listen.
Shoefiti is: Henri, Raphaël, Charles & Pilou
REVIEWS
"Those are good songs!" (Troy Von Balthazar - Chokebore)
"The music sounds great, dreamy. Well captured and recorded." (Jake Moris - Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks)
"This Shoefiti is cool! I don't know why but I was expecting it to be acoustic. It's actually a lot more Pavement than Smog!! The drawings are beautiful too." (Frànçois Marry - Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains)
"Next time we play in France these guys will definitely be on the bill. The art book with the vinyl is pretty cool too." (Dylan Baldi - Cloud Nothings)
"Shoefiti delivers a fine and skilfully created debut album with Only Mountains Never Meet and unveils noble and refined ambiances, in which the songwriting has not been rushed or constrained. Don't miss this beautiful vinyl record!" (Fred Lombard - indiemusic.fr)
"A summit of electrical melancholy worthy of Elliott Smith, from the height of its ethereal harmonies and uncluttered riff." (Indie Rock Mag)
"A beautiful project presenting a folk and dreamlike universe push at its maximum as much on the musical side, that is excellent, than on the aesthetics side (…) and the cover is very stylized. A very personal album." (FAR radio)
"Shoefiti's atypical univers merges a cosmic, psychedelic atmosphere with a classic songwriting between dreamlike folk and poetic rock. It's light, beautiful and simple. It stimulates one's imagination." (Amalgame Musical)
"Soft melodies, with an evident simplicity and a voice that lands like a caress. Some people knows how to make music and others don't. Shoefiti is part of the first category." (Domino - Metastases Webzine)
- Part of the Febuary 2013 Balades Sonores Selection.
- Laureate of Evolusound 2013, from the Reseau Musiques 94.
