The French electro trio 1755 formed in 2015, taking their name from the year of the Lisbon earthquake. Jean-Baptiste Drouet, Antoine Pomet, and Thomas Gallet work together on vocals, composition, and production. Their 2018 single "Boire Ma Bouteille" became a breakout hit in France, with its danceable beat and lyrics about self-medication resonating with listeners.
They released their first studio album "Tropiques" in 2020, following earlier EPs like their self-titled 2015 debut and 2016's "Epilogue." Other tracks in their catalog include "C.B. buddie," "Le jardinier du couvent," and "Le monde a bien changé," which continue their blend of electro, house, and pop elements.
In 2019, the group faced some criticism for explicit language in their lyrics, though they maintained it reflected modern realities. Their music tends to explore personal experiences and relationships against energetic, dance-oriented backdrops.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
