Manon meurt

Manon meurt are masters of contrasts between quiet and noisy passages and are also typical of the epic gradations of their songs. They have been on the scene since 2012 and the current lineup consists of drummer Jiří Bendl, singer, guitarist and bassist Kateřina Elznicová, keyboardist David Tichý and guitarist Kryštof Korčák.

After the eponymous debut EP, he produced their first album MMXVIII< /em> from 2018 Jan P. Muchow. The recording was nominated for the Apollo Czech Critics Award and the Angel Award in the Alternative and Electronic Music category. For their new album, the band once again teamed up with a strong producer personality - British musician and producer Eddie Stevens, who is known for his collaborations with Moloko, Zero 7, Róisín Murphy and Jana Kirschner.

The band, which has been developing its sound for several years built on the ruins of shoegaze and the influence of bands like Slowdive, Lush or Ride, moves forward with the new record and deviates from the original nineties inspirations. The new sound of Manon meurt surprises with the ease of natural intermingling of genres - from trip hop to grunge, to ambient folk with dives into the swirling chaos of dream pop. It is the result of the band's creative shift and dynamic collaboration with Stevens. The album Unravel was released on April 26, 2024 on Minority Records.

The quartet from the Czech city of Rakovník traveled all over Europe and the United Kingdom, playing at the Dutch festival >ESNS, they also performed at the Slovenian MENT in Ljubljana, at the Reeperbahn in Hamburg, Pohoda, Colors of Ostrava, Pop Messe , the Nürnberg Pop festival and others.
