Sweet Crude, a
young New Orleans 7-piece, has created a sound that sets Louisiana's
native French dialect to decidedly non-Cajun music. The band, boasting
surnames like Marceaux, Arceneaux, and Chachere, seeks to reconnect with
their lineage in the context of 4-part harmonies, tribal rhythms, and
pop hooks. "We're making the quirky, energetic indie pop that we'd
otherwise come up with as creative New Orleans musicians. We've got five
people playing drums, we've got everybody singing, shouting, and
dancing. We're just singing a lot of the time in Louisiana French. We
want to show that the language is still alive and kicking, and that it
sounds great in any genre," says primary lyricist Sam Craft.

Alexis & the Samurai are
due for an EP release in the coming months. According to Marceaux, "Our
sound is evolving, we're getting less afraid to be weird and eclectic
in the studio, and we want to push the envelope to make music that will
be genre-defying so that we can keep showing the world how diverse New
Orleans music really is."
