Haunting post-rock tinged electro pop from this exciting London based four piece. Imaginaire formed in late 2009. A multi cultural collection of musicians hailing from Denmark, Japan, Argentina and the UK, now based in South East London.

As can be expected the band’s influences are diverse and their sound is verging on the schizophrenic: esoteric yet accessible, both ethereal and guttural.

Band members Ulla (vocals, piano, synths), Kota (guitar), David (Bass, Synths, Guitars) and Nico (drums) create music which weaves aspects of pop, indie, trip-hop, post-punk and post-rock into beautiful, sometimes riotous, heartfelt yet often desolate songs, with an insistence on strong melody and thoughtful lyricism.

The band is already enjoying radio air-play, and a fledgling yet devoted fanbase, making a name for themselves at the ‘diy’ gigs at the derelict church in which the band live and rehearse.

Currently recording their debut e.p after a string of raucous performances, imaginaire will be playing various live gigs across London throughout the year. - RawMG Magazine

'Then there comes along music like what Imaginaire produce that is just that little bit different from other styles. It can be difficult to put in words what exactly their style is. Either way it has been added to my list of music I enjoy.

At this point I have listened to many, many up and coming artists in a range of styles and in each one I have taken something from them leaving that little bit more fulfilled. Imaginaire gave me a chance to slow down and listen in relaxation to beautiful music and a beautiful voice. I find that no matter what music you listen to no one can deny the pleasure of hearing a beautiful female voice.

I tend to delve into various projects and I have found that the best music to listen to when doing so is classical. It helps relax your mind and has that little something that gets your mind working. Whatever it is that does this, Imaginaire has it. Their is something about the way the music flows into your head that just gets your mind working and the inspiration just flows out of your hands and into your project. What is this reaction called, who knows? who cares?

At this point I would like to apologise to my readers. I realise that I tend to go off into mini rants when writing these reviews. It is simply my way of reacting to the great music that is presented to me. I see this not as a way to spout some drivel to make a band look good. I simply see it as a way to show my appreciation to the great music being shown to me.

So I end this by giving thanks that are willing to listen to me go on and to all those artists who keep sending me music, but most importantly to the people at http://www.myspace.com/imaginairemusic who gave me the inspiration for this article. - Big in the Game
