Marc-André Roy’s RAKAM started in 2006, fusing pop, punk, and jazz. Roy’s sombre and nihilistic lyrics leap out from behind soothing melodies, silky smooth basslines and emphatic beats.
RAKAM’s second full-length, Triomphe Seul, sees him taking the lo-fi hypnagogic pop of Stranger Things Before and moving towards sophisticated 70’s rock and jazz. “It’s the idea of jazz as a flavour,”.
