Ophelia and Franck formed the band in September 2012 as Stupid Bitch Reject. Their first self-titled EP, released in March 2013 on Afmusic, has been critically acclaimed. The track Bean Niochain features on the Shadow Places compilation vol. 3, and many others has been played on several podcasts. Then, followed their first video illustrating the track Inside my Asylum. In June 2014, Franck and Ophelia have decided to rename the band Saigon Blue Rain. Their first album, What I Don't See, was released on Cold Insanity Music in September 2014. In concert, the band also features Mathieu Chollet and Gilles Facquet on guitar & bass. This duo combines the french roots with the typical wavey sounds that remind of the classical new-wave such as The Cure or And Also The Trees, melted with shoegaze or ethereal wave influences and so, they form a sound image that you won’t hear everyday. With her vocals, Ophelia lies somewhere between Cocteau Twins and All About Eve ; she comes up with a lot of passion and draws the listener away from reality with ease while the other instruments build an astounding wall of sound to perfect the whole. With bands such as Les Modules Etranges, Joy/Disaster or Soror Dolorosa, France is one of the congested areas of extraordinary post-punk and gothic rock. Read more on Last.fm.
