About Me

Accessory Fruit is the fruit of the association of four disoriented souls willing to make something coherent out of their respectiveinconsistencies. When given the chance, we play some sort of indie-rock pop music, inspired by refined, literate indie trends mainly, with acertain northern feel, and a few exceptions as well. We are particularly inactive at the moment, if not completely virtual, though there is astart to everything. We are open to a large range of organic and electric sounds, and generally enjoy a little distortion. Although ourplay-list is quite selective and highly subjective, we work at keeping it accessible to the curious listener, and clearly danceable. We takerequests with pleasure but with little guarantee.Obsessive, passionate and disinterested, we will perform for the fun of it, and a couple of fruit drinks maybe. Confirmed music addicts,underage clubbers, countryside hipsters, pretty people, lost passers-by, we would like to meet you all. Accessory fruit is conceptuallyatypical and slightly accidental, definitely accessory. If the competence is probably lacking, at least the spirit is there. Please be kindto our personnel.
O.
Mainly into chamber pop, with a taste for romance and lyrical orchestrations. Generally likes the early stuff better, as things are always going downhill after the second record. Will enjoy playing records at yourwedding. Will have more material for your divorce though.
