L'Impératrice is a French band.

history

L'Impératrice released a first EP of the same name in 2012, a second called Sonate Pacifique in 2014 and a third called Odyssée on October 12, 2015 . This was reissued a year later under the name L'Empereur : a slower version of the original, inspired by a fan error that played the disc at the wrong speed. An acoustic version with violin, cello and acoustic guitar was also released in February 2017.

The group won the 2016 Prix Deezer Adami Audience Award .

In 2016 L'Impératrice released the single Vanille fraise , based on a sample by soul singer Anita Ward .

The group then joined the independent label microqlima, and in June 2017 a first EP entitled Séquences was released on the label. Remixes of these tracks were released in September 2017, including a version by the Australian group Parcels .

On October 17, 2017, Erreur 404 was released , which was presented as the first single from their first album Matahari . The group was seen on January 9, 2018 during the program Quotidien on TMC .

The band performed at various festivals, such as B. the Printemps de Bourges, the Calvi On The Rocks 2016 or the We Love Green 2017.
