These songs were recorded in 2002-2004. However, the duo broke up and the songs – mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios – went into oblivion after a while and were not published. Twenty years later, Label Cantroll releases two full-lengths: the eponymous Arom and A La Vie. This was made possible thanks to a label listener who spent a year looking for writers, convincing them to officially publish the songs and collecting all the source material.
Their music is trip-hop and indie pop, created with groovebox and synths, constantly going into different sounds – trip-rock, soul or acid jazz. The main thing is the vocals in French and English, somewhat reminiscent of Björk. The authors of the project are Dominique for the music and Caroline for the vocals. The name Arom is a combination of the letters of the names (cARoline and dOMinique).
