Since its beginning, The Feeling Of Love evolved from a one-man-band playing minimal and nihilist garage-blues with a no wave leaning, to a trio still in the garage vibe but with more complexity and strong Krautrock and psychedelic influences. The band, mostly based in Metz (France), comes from the mind of Guillaume Marietta, who was joined by Seb Normal and Sebastien Joly for their first studio album released through Born Bad Records in April 2011. Dissolve Me is the band's Kraut space garage manifesto. Songs stretch out, the drums go more tribal, the synth hammers out his keys on an infinite highway, and the guitar gets lost in delay pedal's fog. One thinks Suicide, Spacemen 3, The Velvet Underground, Can, Syd Barrett. The record has enabled the band to reach a larger audience, to hit the stage of big festivals like Rock en Seine in Paris and to be critically-acclaimed by the French media (front page of Telerama, press articles in Le Monde, Les Inrockuptibles, Noise, Magic, Grazia, etc.) and had many reviews on U.S. and European blogs. Nosey/Vice also shot a documentary about the band. After countless shows all over Europe and two tours in U.S.A., sharing the stage with bands such as Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, White Fence, The Intelligence, Girls, Strange Boys, etc., The Feeling of Love now present Reward Your Grace. Even if the songs keep their psychedelic and melancholic garage essence, the band re-think their music by exploring shoegaze and pop territories. Reward Your Grace is a much more light record yet even more accomplished. Something between psych-pop ballads and long trance soundtracks disturbed by sonic blasts.

The Feeling Of Love started out as the solo project of G. Marietta. At first the project was an ephemeral idea that initially couldn't have gone further than a few short songs, belched and recorded for the tape label Luisance Sonore. The postulate was a play on garage blues and no-wave's codes in order to find a primitive, repetitive and minimal idea of rock'n'roll. Finally, after two years of playing gigs in Europe, and a few 7"s out (on Yakisakana, Floridas Dying, Rococo Records, etc.), the "one man band" mutated from a one-piece to a two-piece, and finally to a three-piece band, with Seb Normal (The Normals, Crash Normal, etc.) on drums, and Hess (A.H. Kraken, Vingt Mille Punks) on keyboards. Their music spanned the range from blues and repetitive gimmicks that achieved the same sort of trance states as Krautrock and psychedelia. On their third album, Dissolve Me, the band carry on in the Kraut space garage vein. Songs stretch out, the drums go more tribal, the synth hammers out his keys on an infinite highway, and the guitar gets lost in a delay pedal's fog. Lyrics are even more negative. One thinks of Suicide, Spacemen 3, The Velvet Underground and Pussy Galore. But The Feeling Of Love also love cats, Kurt Cobain, Michael Jordan, Francis Bebey, Bob Dylan and the highway.
