Loup GarouX

Loup GarouX formed entirely by chance. All three members have been friends for years, collaborating on all manner of projects and sometimes touring together too. After Harcourt returned from a North American tour with The Afghan Whigs and Built To Spill, Jones paid him a visit which resulted in them jamming in Harcourt’s studio the Wolf Cabin. The finer details of how the band came to be are already lost to memory, but that kind of unspoken black magic is entirely fitting for their vibe. What’s unmistakably true, however, is that the trio joined forces at a time when they were all eager to do something different from their long-term projects. Exploring fresh ideas, sounds and influences was the precise catharsis that they needed, and that energy radiates throughout everything that Loup GarouX do. Working in frenzied bursts of activity - rarely more often than a couple of days a month - Loup GarouX quickly built up a catalogue of more than twenty songs for an album that they’re currently finishing and will release in 2020. The songs are then mixed by Cenzo Townshend (U2, Florence + The Machine, The Maccabees) to “pump some steroids into them”, with the band using his live room for any additional fine-tuning.
