Emerging as a bold and distinctive voice in the alternative rock landscape, French quartet GRACEFUL blends driving riffs with glistening indie-pop melodies and hypnotic psychedelic textures. Hailing from Nantes, the band masterfully navigates contrasts—light and dark, softness and intensity—to craft emotionally charged songs that build tension and release with cathartic force.
Their third full-length album, Riding On The Chaos, now available for streaming in its entirety, marks a new high point in the band’s artistic evolution. Each listen reveals deeper layers—an immersive sonic journey where infectious hooks meet expansive atmospheres. GRACEFUL continues to refine their unique sound, delivering a record that feels both deeply personal and ambitiously cinematic.
Spanning 10 intricately constructed tracks, Riding On The Chaos places the band’s evocative vocals at the forefront while channeling the influences of acts like Radiohead, Archive, Jeff Buckley, The Mars Volta, and Tame Impala. The result is a dynamic blend of alternative rock infused with vibrant pop sensibilities and enveloping psych soundscapes—equal parts haunting and euphoric.
Recorded at the acclaimed Black Box Studios, the album benefits from the expert mixing of Arthur Lauth (Regarde Les Hommes Tomber, The Ocean) and the mastering finesse of Benjamin Savignoni. Together, they capture the essence of GRACEFUL’s rich, multidimensional approach to songwriting.
With Riding On The Chaos, GRACEFUL not only solidifies their place in the alt-rock realm but sets the stage for an electrifying live show. As they bring their new material to audiences, the band promises performances that are as powerful and atmospheric as the music itself—an experience that lingers long after the final note.
