rouge:hands

Born in Perpignan, in the south of France, Gaël Rannou is a musician and composer whose musical universe is a delicate blend of post-punk, cold-wave, shoegaze, and post-rock, crafting a style that is both introspective and captivating.

His musical project, rouge:hands, embodies a deeply atmospheric and emotional aesthetic. Influenced by legendary bands such as Joy Division, The Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees for their melodic depth, by Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine for their ethereal textures, and by Mogwai for their cinematic soundscapes, Gaël creates music that is primarily instrumental.

His music, often devoid of lyrics, tells universal stories through melodies and immersive atmospheres, taking listeners on a journey where emotion speaks louder than words.
