The Cucumber is not only a vegetable, it is one of the most exciting bands that the French territory has ever known. So. Get ready for lift off with its sophisticated musical cuisine and its delicious vegetable sounds! The French Job, the bands first album, is guaranteed to sweep you off down a resolutely groovy time tunnel with 16 furiously catchy tracks travelling through Swinging London, breakbeat, soundtracks and funk. The 60s influenced vintage instrumentation mixed with a thoroughly modern electro pop sound may bring to mind artists such as David Holmes, Lalo Schiffrin, the KPM catalog, or early Air records. The band members: Cyril Jean, (Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes, flute), Marie Julie Arnal (Hammond organ, Moog, Theremin), Christophe Vaillant (guitar, sitar) and Olivier Vaillant (bass) are all familiar names in the French pop scene, from having worked in bands such as The Cryptones or The Strawberry Smell, and theyre currently involved with the Pony Taylor project, and Stereoscope Jerk Explosion. In 2007 Cucumbers first two 7 inch vinyls: Chris Clubber / Mayflows Garden, and Its Hippopotime / Shocking! (produced by Cosmic Groove, an independant French label & record store) both received international acclaim. Cucumber tracks have also been featured on the Boutique Chic compilations produced by Thomas Deligny, and Sugarlumps 3 of the legendary Acid Jazz label. The band has also made several remixes, Hushpuppies, Janko Nilovic, The Moons, April March...
