The show The Voice, in which Paul, member of Brin d’Zinc shone, seems to have given a big boost to the notoriety of the group. And many are those who intend to listen to his first album.
Proof of this is the crowdfunding campaign launched in early May and ended on June 13 to finance the first opus of the quartet from the region of Brest, has cardboard! 45,794 euros were collected, out of the expected 8,000, a target exceeded by 572%! 1,200 people contributed to the prize pool. “We never had a penny, we will try not to burn everything this year”, smiles Paul’O.
Several projects
The financial windfall will be used to do things properly. The recording of the album will take place near Rouen in July for a release in December, “we will be able to make a beautiful visual, some goodies. We also planned some Brind’Zinc cuvée beers that we have to choose… And once the album is recorded, we will decide which songs will have its music video, ”continues the 30-year-old singer with the rocky voice.
The band members (Paul’O on vocals, piano and accordion, Anna Scolan on clarinet, glockenspiel and vocals, Pauline Trehen on cello, viola viola, double bass, glockenspiel and backing vocals, Ludovic Normand on guitar, ukulele, pedometer, percussion and vocals) have just finished the clip of a song. The shooting took place in Lanildut, Le Conquet and Douarnenez.
“If the big radio stations play us too, so much the better”
And this summer will be quite busy, in addition to the recording of the album with a previous residency in Morbihan from July 12 to 16, a few dates (July 2 in Auray, July 4 in Guipavas, August 8 in Plouarzel …) “And things, no doubt, on the side. The money from the fundraising also allows us to have a press officer and to be able to be more widely distributed. We will try to play in French-speaking countries like Canada and Belgium, and to be broadcast on independent radio stations. If the big radios play us too, so much the better, ”smiles Paul’O.
