The Limiñanas

About

The Limiñanas, hailing from Perpignan, France, aren't just playing rock and roll; they're soundtracking a stylish, sun-drenched European crime thriller that exists only in your mind. This husband-and-wife duo, Lionel and Marie Limiñana, craft a seductive blend of garage rock swagger, psych-pop shimmer, and cinematic French ye-ye, drawing inspiration from Serge Gainsbourg, The Velvet Underground, and Ennio Morricone. Their career trajectory has been a slow burn of critical acclaim, starting with their self-titled debut in 2010. Each subsequent album, including standouts like "Crystal Anis" and "Shadow People" (featuring Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre), has cemented their reputation for hypnotic grooves and Marie's deadpan, alluring vocals. The Limiñanas' impact lies in their effortlessly cool aesthetic and their ability to transport listeners to a bygone era while maintaining a contemporary edge. Their music is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, appealing to fans of vintage cool and modern indie alike. Notable collaborations extend beyond Newcombe to Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order), Pascal Comelade, and Bertrand Belin, showcasing their versatility and broad appeal. Their recent releases, including the album "De Película," confirm their commitment to their signature sound and cinematic vision. They are currently touring and developing new material.
