Album lore

Indigo, issued by Step by Records in September 2024, finds Thomas Grimmonprez navigating the intersection of French house and variété française. Across eleven tracks, Grimmonprez weaves a collection that leans on warm, analogue textures and a restrained sense of groove. The featured track, "I Love You," exemplifies this approach, pairing gentle synth lines with a subtle rhythmic pulse that nods to the dancefloor without forsaking chanson’s melodic sensibility.Though Grimmonprez’s audience remains modest, the record’s measured blend of styles offers a quietly assured addition to recent French electronic production. Indigo’s appeal lies less in immediate impact than in its patient construction—a signal for listeners attuned to the lineage of house music’s domestic inflections.
