took me some time to finally get my first album. I started to record under my name only in 1994. It took me two years of record to ensure that my first album Karina Square in 1996. I found a long time. Yet two years is quite short. But the publication of the first long-format is a rite of passage to pass. It was the first step in the life of a musician. Admittedly, 94, 95 and 96, I go out three 45s. But the small size, he is so cute, does not mean the same thing in those early 90's indie pop in French. To begin, we were less numerous than today to play the English Pop classified as alternative or independent. Moreover, I find that term in 94. I thought to play rock, simply. But the French rock has big guitars, sung in French and on the radio. In 94, a decree had just fallen on quotas for French-language songs on the radio programmed mandatory for the Safeguarding of the Francophonie, negating any chance to music sung in English if it is by the French. In 2000, Herman Dune have the same idea of pretending to Swedish (which is half of the interbreeding of two of them) for a chance to switch on the radio. But at 94, for the indie pop musicians in France, but rather the penalty. We sing for a minority. On the other hand, economic reasons pushing the music industry in a massive propaganda stating that the plants have closed and vinyl format this exist anymore. This lie is still going on today so that we can even find the BHV reissues or in some supermarkets in addition to Fnac, in 2010. This hoax was intended to boost the CD format. Moreover, it will revive the wounds Vinyl fans will discover that the plants have absolutely not stopped the manufacture of this format (never listen to the news), and in addition it also proposes smaller prints. Thus, a variety of labels can be mounted by offering 45 tours for groups to draw a minimum. In the batch of labels such as Lithium or Rosebud emerge with the release of these mini cakes. Both labels and unearth Katerine Domnique A, only here. With this momentum is the idea that "the international pop underground" declared by the label K Records in California could well have an embassy in France. Groups are mounted. Labels too. Rain of 45 laps. Suddenly, out in a long format, cd, it's a little switch in the big leagues in 1996. And that's what I do. The registration lasts for two years between Paris and Bordeaux, among 4 tracks and eight tracks. Between one and edited by Julien R, guitarist Carmine and label head Karina Square. We met in 1993. I discovered his first band, Candle, released two years before at Lithium. When the group had changed its name and had mounted his own label, I phoned (I often do here) by a fan: "Hello, I listen to your hard every day, I'm crazy." We sympathized. The recording was difficult for me because I was not alone. And then I was interested more in the folk while Julien saw only one element in my songs emo and kraut rock. The word "lofi" appeared in terms of time and Julien tried to give me a more rounded and less craft. I agreed with him. But that does not sound much to loose because of my lack of musical technicality. From 1996, learning to play my instruments properly has become an obsession. When the album was released, I was disappointed with its sound texture. I decided to record only when dice and find information on each style that I approached. Indeed, the album was very eclectic, as I did often. But from that moment I wanted to know my subjects better to know also what I like most about it all. I am far from finished.
