Intro

Housse de Racket sounds like the intersection of a vintage tennis club and a futuristic Parisian dance floor. Their music is defined by a bright, aerodynamic energy that feels both incredibly precise and effortlessly cool. It is the sound of high-fidelity synthesizers meeting rhythmic indie rock guitars, all wrapped in lush, harmonized vocals that carry a distinct Gallic charm.

What makes them truly distinctive is their ability to blend the 'French Touch' electronic heritage with a classic pop-rock songwriting sensibility. While many of their contemporaries lean into murky textures, Housse de Racket opts for crystalline clarity and anthemic structures. There is a playful, conceptual wit to their work - often referencing sports and romance - that gives the music a sense of narrative momentum and joy.

Start with the album 'Alésia' for their most refined and expansive sound. It captures the duo at their peak, offering a masterclass in how to make electronic pop feel grand, emotional, and physically moving all at once. It’s the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the intersection of Phoenix and Daft Punk.

Housse de Racket are a musical duo from Paris, France. The band consists of Pierre Leroux and Victor Le Masne.
