2. OXYGEN est un groupe pop-rock qui mélange subtilement riffs de guitare hypnotiques et aériens, basse métronomique, batterie pénétrante et nappes synthétiques.

Se greffe alors une voix qui délivre des paroles remplies de poésie qui laissent le champ libre à l’imagination. Ensemble, les quatre membres d’ OXYGEN développent une alchimie naturelle, offrant ainsi un univers musical unique et immédiatement reconnaissable.

Formé en 2003, OXYGEN autoproduit “Poussière d’étoiles“, son premier album, et parcourt alors la France et la Belgique sur des scènes de plus en plus grandes. Fin 2005, OXYGEN sort “Supernova and the dark side of the pop”, un disque qui permet au groupe d’élargir son public. Ces deux albums se vendent à plusieurs milliers d’exemplaires.

Le solide background musical des quatre membres et une expérience certaine en concert caractérisent OXYGEN, qui a ainsi assuré en 2007 les premières parties d’Indochine en France et en Belgique, a été invité à ouvrir pour IAMX à Paris, puis a terminé l’année en partageant l’affiche avec Joseph Arthur en Espagne.

OXYGEN se démarque par le rapport particulier qu’il entretient avec son public. Dès les débuts du groupe s’est formé un noyau dur de fans, un phénomène amplifié à la sortie de “Supernova and the dark side of the pop“.

Rough translation:
OXYGEN is a pop-rock'n'roll group which mix hypnotic and air fronts of guitar subtly, low metronomic, penetrating battery and synthetic tablecloths. A voice is grafted then which delivers words filled of poetry which leave the free field to imagination. Together, the four members of OXYGEN develop a natural alchemy, thus offering a single and immediately recognizable musical universe. Formed in 2003, own-produced OXYGEN “star Dust “, its first album, and then traverse France and Belgium on increasingly large scenes. At the end of 2005, OXYGEN leaves “Supernova and the dark side of the pop”, a disc which makes it possible the group to widen its public. These two albums are sold to several thousands of specimens. The solid musical background of the four members and an unquestionable experiment in concert characterizes OXYGEN, which thus ensured into 2007 the first parts of Indo-China in France and Belgium, was invited to open for IAMX in Paris, then finished the year by dividing the poster with Joseph Arthur in Spain. OXYGEN is dissociated by the particular report/ratio which it maintains with its public. As of the beginnings of the group an hard core of fans was formed, a phenomenon amplified at the exit of “Supernova and the dark side of the pop“ Read more on Last.fm.
