Shadows with Elisabeth like a dream - An Interview


O duo mezzo francês, mezzo sérvio Elisabeth like a dream é daquelas deliciosas precisiodades escondidas no submundo dos bons sons.

Aleksandra Plavsic e Myriam Bâ criaram as pérolas do EP "Sing Sing" de 2014 e do recente single "Shadow" lançado neste ano, sempre envolto a um clima melancólico entre beats eletrônicos dançantes com nuances de pós punk e aquela aura de sonhos encantadora.

Quer um conselho, dê play imediatamente e apaixone-se.

***** Interview with Elisabeth like a dream *****


Q. When did Elisabeth like a dream start? Tell us about the history...
Well it started as a audio visual collaboraton for art exhibitions before we’ve decided to really form a band in 2011 . Myriam is a painter and designer and me, mostly a composer and musician . I had songs and Myriam always wanted to play bass …So the first EP « Sing sing » was released shortly after .

Q: Who are your influences?
Well our influences go from contemporary repetitive composers like philipp glass, john cage thru the velvet underground and electronic musicians like underworld, sven vath and the underground rock ones like diamanda galas, patti smith , david bowie etc

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
