Fauve

Fauve is a collective made up of five anonymous musicians, videographers, and graphic designers who refer to themselves as Fauve Corp and often use a logo, the mathematical sign of unequal, as an identifier. Fauve's music is a highly accessible and confrontational meld of lo-fi and indie rock, with electronics and spoken word vocals that walk a line between slam poetry and rap, and sometimes features sung backing vocals. Though they were offered recording contracts from virtually every major label -- and most independents --in France, Fauve refused them all. They consistently sold out performances all over Paris and its suburbs, predating their lone recording, an eight-track EP entitled Blizzard, which was released in spring 2013 and reached number 13 on the French charts.
