Her Members, Gear & Sound

Her was a French indie pop duo known for their emotive and soulful sound, blending elements of indietronica and the new French touch. The band was formed by Victor Solf (vocals, keyboards) and Simon Carpentier (vocals, guitar), who brought together diverse influences from their international backgrounds — Solf's exposure to black music during his time in the United States and Carpentier's German roots steeped in the electronic sounds of Kraftwerk and Can. Their music explores universal themes such as love and sensuality, often drawing comparisons to artists like Frank Ocean and Shuggie Otis.

Her's sonic palette is characterized by a blend of smooth, soulful melodies and rich, electronic textures. The duo's sound often features warm, vintage synthesizer tones, with the Sequential Prophet-6 contributing to the lush, atmospheric undercurrents of their music. Simon Carpentier's use of the Airline Rocket H54 guitar paired with a Fender '65 Twin Reverb amp adds a layer of shimmering, retro-inspired guitar work that complements the electronic elements. This fusion creates a sound that is both intimate and expansive, with a focus on dynamic range and emotional depth. Her's compositions are a masterclass in balancing the organic with the electronic, crafting a sound that is as engaging as it is evocative.
