Minuit Machine, a synth wave band based in Paris, is the association of Helene de Thoury's electronic melodies and Amandine Stioui's vocals. The project was born in Helene's mind in June 2013 during a tour with Phosphor, her former band. in September of the same year, she met Amandine and fell in love with her voice. Together, they released their first EP called Blue Moon in October 2013. The sound of the French duo, based on powerful electronic drums and the accumulation of dark synth lines, is a mix of all their inspirations that range from minimal wave to electronic rock. Their debut album Live & Destroy is now released and will be followed by a European tour. The album talks about life, love, self-destruction and fear, all the struggles we encounter each day, all the doubts and darkness that can sometimes bring US down - and the idea that our worst enemy could be our own mind.
