With "Other Side", French four piece CIGUË plunges into the duality that haunts us all—the unseen fractures, the unspoken tensions, the raw truth lurking beneath the surface. This new single and music video are a hypnotic descent into the abyss, where industrial rock, goth-electro, and brooding metal merge to create an atmosphere as immersive as it is unsettling.
Founded in late 2006 by Yann Reversat (guitarist, American School of Modern Music alum, ex-Norma Loy) and Joanna Louis (classically trained pianist and organist, former vocalist), Cigüe is a bold fusion of rock, electro, and industrial : a sonic exploration of inner turmoil, paranoia, and existential dread. After relocating to Montpellier (France), the duo expanded into a powerhouse trio with drummer Josian Ribes (a 20-year autodidact with roots in goth, metal, and prog). Their third album, Commotion (2012), and fourth, Ainsi nous sommes, fueled a relentless tour across France and Switzerland, from Thunderbird (St-Etienne) to L'Usine (Geneva). In 2022, Cigüe resurfaced with renewed force. With the addition of Laurent Denis - a versatile metal guitarist - the band now weaves a dense, hypnotic tapestry of industrial rock, goth-electro, and brooding metal, revisiting their four-album legacy with a sharper, more immersive intensity.
