One could believe that Toukan Toukän comes straight from some Elton John’s quote : « Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours »
Laure, a singer and a songwriter, and Pierre, a drummer fond of electronic music, have shaped a colorful universe that can be listen to on repeat. Carried by a candid insouciance the band is like an antidote to fight gloominess. Their music is very spontaneous, its approach is indeed as simple as its influences are complex, infused with the pop legacy of the 4 last decades, from Bowie to Kate Bush and MIA, but also influenced by Grimes or MØ, Phil Collins and many other heroes they grew up listening to. Their songs, sometimes sung in English, sometimes in French, could easily be the soundtrack of everyone’s everyday life, telling stories about little joys, flaws, and self-confidence, while sometimes talking about more contemporary subjects such as how it feels to be a woman nowaday.
