Vim Cortez was born in 1976 somewhere South of Paris. He still lives not far from there. He wrote his personal musical history with various bands in various genres, most importantly with Camelia Ashbach. But life mutates and so does the way music reigns in our lives. 2007 opens a new chapter for Vim. Perhaps the most faithful description of his style is electro folk, leaning on downtempo electronica/trip hop. With a lot of other components worked in. Dark and slow one minute, fast and fun the next. Stevie Wonder and the Beatles hit him hard from his youth on, The 60s Motown sounds still warm him on rainy days, and Prince's 80s minimalist funk entered is DNA for good. But even partial influences lists are boring so it is as well to stop here. It's a journey through unknown woods at night. With a friend cracking jokes. Read more on Last.fm.
