Hailing from Toulouse, Fellas is a five-piece Nu Jazz outfit flawlessly blending contemporary jazz, Hip-Hop, and Italian-American cinema influences to create something altogether fresh, vibrant and with an undeniable groove throughout. Piloted by saxophonist Charlie Burg, the quintet was formed in 2022 and also comprises Robin Espagnet (guitar), Leo Colman (piano, synths), Seraphin Vergniot (bass) and Robin Safaru (drums).
Fellas are gearing up to release their debut EP, ‘NDONTI, on August 9th through DeepMatter Records and this week they’ve offered a glimpse at what to expect with new single ‘Sillage’. The track “situates listeners within the frames of Sergio Leone’s crime epic ‘Once Upon A Time In America’”, as the press release describes, “seeking to capture the odour of the films opium dens in hazy musical form”.
