Says the band: « Pleiadees looks at the stars with its feet in the mud of life. From mud the lotus is born. From the lotus a jewel. Pleiadees music digs deep in search of forgotten jewels. It uses the methods of free rock, jazz, improvisation and transcends them all. It’s world music for these disjointed times we’re all in. »
PLEIADEES offers a rich, ancestral and powerful synthesis of electronics, traditional sounds and jazz instruments. As a result: deep reverberations directly connected to the soul. Pleiadees raise an unearthly and syncretic beauty as The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation or The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble would.
