YÜ
YÜ is a stoner-grunge duo formed by Noémie Alazard (vocals/drums) and Yoann Laven (guitar/backing vocals). Their sound is raw and organic, without synthesizers, at the crossroads of distorted rock, stoner, and sonic ritual. They also cultivate a highly personal and enigmatic artistic direction.
The duo draws on art, cinema and mythologies to shape their own narrative: a living entity, at once ritualistic, wild and inhabited, somewhere between clown, idol, yokai and chimera.
