Terrenoire

Hailing from Saint-Étienne, the Terrenoire duo formed in 2017 is made up of brothers Raphaël and Théo Herrerias. The name comes from the neighborhood where the two Spanish-born members grew up, the first and eldest on vocals (born in 1990) and the second on keyboards and production (born in 1996). Influenced by the great local figure Bernard Lavilliers, Terrenoire indulge in everyday songs, in a pop and electro musical style, as demonstrated by their first untitled EP released in 2018. Now based in Paris, the duo are working on their debut album Les Forces Contraires (2020), released on the independent label Black Paradiso and featuring a guest appearance by Barbara Pravi. Following tracks written for Louane, Pomme and Lavilliers, the album was reissued in 2022 under the title Les Forces Contraires: La Mort et la Lumière, with eight additional songs. At the end of 2024, a new series of tracks paved the way for the release of the second album, Protégé.e, unveiled early the following year.
