With their new single “Pas la peine”, Apollone turn emotional collapse into something strangely euphoric. The track lives in that fragile space between holding on and letting go, when the body keeps dancing long after the heart knows it’s over.
Driven by a slow, nocturnal groove, “Pas la peine” unfolds like a late-night confession on a half-empty dancefloor. It doesn’t seek resolution or comfort. Instead, it lingers, circles, and glows, transforming unresolved feelings into rhythm, repetition, and release.
Apollone emerged in 2024, splitting their time between Paris and the Basque Coast, bonded by a shared instinct: emotion doesn’t fade when the lights come on, it moves. Their music blends disco, pop and electronic textures with the sensibility of French songwriting, creating songs that feel intimate yet built for collective experience.
Their sound is rooted in vintage influences but never nostalgic. Lush synths, elastic basslines and a clear, expressive vocal collide to form a universe where brightness and sadness coexist. Think slow dances under strobe lights, warmth wrapped in melancholy, elegance with an edge.
The name Apollone, a feminine echo of the god of music reflects the band’s approach: crafting songs as emotional sculptures, shaped by tension, desire and memory. Each track feels suspended in time, like a moment you don’t want to name because naming it would make it disappear.
Drawing on backgrounds shaped through collaborations with Breakbot, Fred Falke, The Toxic Avenger, Alan Braxe, Cocoon and releases via Frappé Records, Apollone now channel late-90s electronic aesthetics through a contemporary, emotionally charged lens.
“Pas la peine” isn’t about endings. It’s about staying inside the feeling a little longer and letting the dancefloor carry what words no longer can.
