Welcome Nogaro

About

If music has always played a central role in Clément Mellet's life, it was in 2021 that it took a more personal form through demos recorded in a bedroom on a cassette multitrack recorder. Fueled by a rich and essential personal mythology—shaped by formative journeys and places, echoes of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s magical realism, and the grief of a lost love—the initial bedroom recording project evolved into Welcome Nogaro. Re-recorded in a studio in Caen in 2022, while preserving the lo-fi and intimate spirit of its origins, Story from the Frame, Welcome Nogaro’s debut EP, was released in early October 2024. Rooted in a folktronica vein and crafted in the lo-fi analog tradition of 90s indie bands, this first record is skillfully infused with rock and pop undertones. __ ( o> ///\ \V_/_
