Associated at the beginning to the French post-hardcore scene ( Hint, Bästard, Portobello Bones...) IDEM have gradually freed themselves from the evident relationship with their big brothers   to go and flirt with electronic atmospheres, of course still dark but more voluptuous and rounded, in the style of Sofa Surfers or Amon Tobin... A music with suspiciously calm periods as well as highly devastating fits of anger, with an everlasting wave of the soul between celestial heights and abyssal depths, between aerial guitars and underground infrabass... The trio will soon release their sixth album and therefore are preparing a new show for its promotion on stage everywhere in France and abroad. The compositions have been simplified, yet they are still highly efficient and the group control their purpose more tightly than ever. IDEM's music admits of no label. So, sticking one would be no use and inevitably against nature. If you really want to find any consanguinity, look for clues towards Massive Attack , Erik Satie, Nine Inch nails or Mogwaï, among so many others, even more disconcerting. It may be more explicite after all to say that their work would be a sensational soundtrack for Maurice G. Dantec's science-fiction films, for the American film-maker, David Lynch's film scenes with schizophrenic tendencies, or for Enki Bilal's frosty comic strips. Music for the eyes, pictures for the ears... Â
