Archolepsy

Archolepsy ascended in 2023 as a Strasbourg-based band, blending rock’s raw energy and funk’s infectious grooves. 5 friends from architecture school got together and realized their strong fusion, the symbiosis of each’s musical background, and thus begun to create a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

They captured an essence of euphoria during a multitude of electrifying live-shows, thrilling the audience and getting them on their feet. It’s a sensory experience marked by tight musicianship and enrapturing stage presence. As they start rolling out their original songs, the listeners may witness the genesis of a sonic wonder, pushed by gleaming lyrics that unearth the archoleptics’s personal tribulations put to words and music. (yes, including BANANA. Lack of potassium is an ordeal.)

Through Aymane’s syncopated guitar rhythms inspired by Cory Wong and Nile Rodgers, Guillaume’s luscious voice control reminding of Caroline Polachek, Constance’s psychotonic keyboard harmonies from Radiohead and Brad Mehldau’s world, Quentin’s catchy bass lines evoking Pink Floyd and Supertramp, and Paul’s exhilirating percussive cadence recalling Benny Greb – Archolepsy is a chimera, impossible to fit in a box.
