Post DFA1979: Sebastien Grainger

Photobucket
While Jesse Keeler ran away with their producer to form the house-inflected pop stylings of MSTRKRFT, who are currently working on their second album, the other half of Death From Above 1979, Sebastien Grainger, has been much more quiet.

Apart from contributing vocals to DIOYY?'s song "Let's Make Out" and drumming for Canadian rapper k-os, Grainger's presence has been much more low key.

Recently however, Grainger has been working with his own backing band "Les Montagnes" (or The Mountains, if you prefer), who explore the opposite end of DFA's dance-punk formula to Keeler's MSTRKRFT.

Currently working on their debut album, their sound is as energetic and straightforward as DFA, yet unfortunately lacking in Keeler's pounding danceable basslines. They're still pretty good though.
