Indie Pop from Ex en Provence

Hailing from London, Ex en Provence is the new collaborative project between songwriters and musicians Samuel Deschamps and Jan Blumentrath who originally met while sharing the stage with their previous outfits La Shark, the Intergalactic Republic of Kongo and Eliot Sumner. Following mutual admiration for each other’s bands and their energy-filled and charismatic live performances, after a few chats back stage they decided to meet up and thus their new endeavour was born.

From their studio underneath a snookerhall in North London, they set up a room full of synthesisers and started to form their combined creative vision as Ex en Provence. Over the next five years they created hundreds of demos as they breezed through various styles and perfected their artistic voice as well as regularly writing and producing music for a wide array of other artists.

When the pandemic arrived and caused chaos to the status quo for everyone, it also provided the spark for the duo to realise what the glue was within the project and towards the end of 2020 they released their debut single with “Counting Down the Suns”. Followed up the next year with their sophomore single “Mrs. Tambourine Girl”, they now bring us their latest work with the brand new radio edit of their single “How Long Can We Hang?”.

The perfect taste of their joyous indie pop sound, “How Long Can We Hang? (Radio Edit)” sees Ex en Provence spin a timeless sound of soul searching songwriting. Opened up by a bouncy and whimsical verse before slipping into a truly anthemic chorus, with their latest work, Ex en Provence stake their claim as a leading bedroom pop act to watch as they continue their exciting journey.
