MAO CORMONTREUIL (FR)

Fun factory

Born under a blazing summer sun in 2023, M.A.O. Cormontreuil is a wild musical lab where Marianne Mérillon, Anthonin Ternant, and Odilon Horman (Black Bones, The Bewitched Hands, Chester Remington) brew their turbo-charged pop potion.

With a frantic pace worthy of a hamster on caffeine, the Reims-based trio drops fresh tracks on the regular, always paired with Anthonin’s delightfully wacky music videos.

On stage? Buckle up! Their set is like an indie-house mixtape on steroids—a whirlwind of beats where each track flows seamlessly into the next with killer electro transitions. The tempo skyrockets from 90 to 150 BPM, building up to a climax where standing still is simply not an option.

And online? Their communication is a masterpiece of absurdity: a fictional agency operating from imaginary offices, like a sketchy early-2000s startup—a playful nod to DIY culture and the early, clunky days of computer-assisted music production.

In short, M.A.O. Cormontreuil is a musical rollercoaster where anything goes—and above all, nothing is taken too seriously!
