DARK POP FROM ZÜRICH, SWITZERLAND
Since it is mostly hard to describe that musical style by avoiding "Indie", Déesse [deˡɛs] collect quirky neologisms like Chillout Punk, Independent Romantic or simply Post Wave or Dark Pop, which shall contain elements of rough punk guitars, impulsive beats and heavy bass as well as tender and fragile melodies, reduced structures and yearning lyrics carried by the crooning, deep dark voice of the singer.

In february 2011 they recorded and produced their first EP. It rather represents a severe, lyrical and quiet dark side of the band.
In february 2012 Déesse will record their 2nd EP with new material.

Déesse always endeavoured playing live and did successfully master local concerts as well as they developed and improved their style, for example by involving more and more upright bass, synthesizers and even string arrangements.
However the repertoire is big by now and contains up-tempo and danceable tunes …and of course, now and then some grains of irony.

Under a different name, Déesse took stage for the first time in december 2009. In consequence they parted with their bassplayer and soon found a fitting substitute in stand up bass playing Addrich Mauch. In early of 2010, guitarist, singer and songwriter Matias Moulin once again worked and reworked his songs, that tell an enchanting story of sorrow and agony, hidden in love and frenzy. Pure melancolia, enlaced by mingling guitars, a calm stand up bass laying the ground.
Yet, in those month, spent in a deep-level car park, somewhere in the industrial area of Zurich, devouring and abolishing cigarettes, coffee and liters of white wine, not only tranquility came to surface, but also a reminiscence of the '80, of pure punk attitude, of raw noise, contrasting with silence. In the background, clairvoyant observers might spot the brigade of blue godfathers, such as Nick Cave, Tim Buckley or Leonard Cohen, showing off a pleased smile and nodding to each other as the bond in mutual consent to this calm but energetic heartthrob… <br />
