Vraëthkour is the solo project of R.S., established in the summer of 2026. French in sensibility rather than nationality, the project explores melancholic and romantic music through a deliberately lo-fi approach. Recorded and mixed entirely alone, the music is slow, often melodramatic and occasionally absurd, shaped by whatever instruments and equipment are available. Influences range from Pierre Schaeffer and the Bangles to Cranes and Moëvöt, without allegiance to any particular tradition. Across Les Cendres d’Aävre and Pauvre Monde, Vraëthkour offers an intuitive and unguarded expression of loss, longing and despair.
