SKiN GRAFT RECORDS TO RELEASE PILI COïT’S ‘LOVE EVERYWHERE’ |
| The recently released album of the French duo is finally coming out October 6 via SKiN GRAFT Records |
|

|
| On paper, Lyon’s Pili Coït sound simple enough: Jessica Martin Maresco (of Le Grand Sbam) on drums and vocals, plus Guilhem Meier (of Poil) on guitar and vocals. On record, armed with an oil can, a floor tom, a synth-drum, and electric and acoustic guitars – Pili Coït come together. |
|
“Pili Coït is something else. This French combo will shake your rumpa, or at the very least your fundamental beliefs in music. Shooting back and forth from indie pop, to acoustic campfire songs to ethno dance music to heavy pogo punk, Pili Coït answer to no one but themselves, making music that is free and boundless”
– WEIRDO SHRINE |

| Jessica Martin Maresco and Guilhem Meier are making music. Guilhem composes and plays in several bands, like Poil (progressive noise rock), Ukandanz (ethio-crunch), Piniol (math rock) with whom he releases albums and tours the world. |
|
| Jessica, on the other hand, collaborates with the French collective La forge on small forms of improvised music and sings regularly with the ensemble L’Attracteur Etrange, which explores soundpainting with skilled improvisers. She is also a member of Le Grand Sbam, a collective of creation, research and musical experimentation that defends living music in all its richness, complexity and universality. |

| Jessica and Guilhem met at a jazz festival in the south of France… jamming, partying… They fell in love and decided to play together, forming the band Icsis. Initially the band was a sextet, with Jessica singing and playing keyboards – and Guilhem on drums and additional vocals. Later Icsis became a trio, but soon after it simply didn’t feel right to continue. The two then formed Pili Coït and decided to play as a duo. They further challenged themselves by switching their instruments, with Jessica handling percussion (she had never played drums before), and Guiihem playing guitar (which he had dabbled with as a teenager). |
|
| Pili Coït’s debut album “Pink Noïse” was released on Lyon’s Dur Et Doux label in 2017. Their follow up “Love Everywhere” will be released on vinyl by SKiN GRAFT Records on October 6th, 2023 and will be supported with live dates in the USA with Chicago’s avant prog / no wave act Lovely Little Girls.’Love Everywhere’ is coming out October 6th on randomly colored vinyl. |
