Double U

Double U, Franck Rabeyrolles' musical project, was born in Montpellier (South of France) in 2004. Franck belongs to a generation cradled with Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Byrds, or Leonard Cohen, Can. For him music is a way of life. This project has germinated all along his musical career not only in bands (as drummer, guitarist, singer), or in radio shows, but also as a DJ or even as a record retailer (Wool Music in Montpellier). His first album � Life behind the window � was signed on Sonar kollektiv and helped him to reach interesting international distribution.Then He produced his second Label � A bottle in the sea � for Karat records the French � minimal electronic experimental team.His music has been discribed at the begining as a crossover of Folk and electronica, dream pop ….it moved slowly into a more intimistic, poetic music…very difficult to classify with fragile vocals and more and more acoustic parts. �The imaginary Band � his fourth album has been recorded with Jazz musicians Michel Benita for example( who played with Aldo Romano ,Eric Truffaz,Arshie Shepp) plays double bass on most of the songs.It was a very melodic album with smooth vibes ,cello and clarinet interventions.……in 2008 /2009 Franck Rabeyrolles stated the Franklin Project which is more psychedelic Bay era pop crossed with electronics with experimental pop parts. Double u has got a new album now called "Pinneapple Dream"his music seems more and more accomplished , poetic, modern ….
