Why this recording

Far from its Seattle studio, KEXP filmed the trio at ESMA in Rennes on 3 December 2025, during the Trans Musicales festival. The set runs 14 minutes and five songs, chaptered in the description: Développement personnel, starting at 06:27, lasts barely a minute and a half, while Guerre froide closes the session from 11:08. The credited crew pairs Morgan as host with Matt Ogaz on audio and mastering, four camera operators and Carlos Cruz as editor. The video was published in late January 2026, nearly two months after the recording.

Live session of the band Margaret Tchatcheuse recorded by the American radio station KEXP at the ESMA in Rennes, during the Rencontres Trans Musicales 2025, on 3 December 2025. A French group with raw energy and French-language writing, Margaret Tchatcheuse unfolds a nervy independent rock and sharp lyrics, between irony and introspection. Captured as part of KEXP’s partnership with one of Europe’s most respected discovery festivals, this session showcases five songs — « Ne reviens pas », « Montparnasse », « Développement personnel », « Britney » and « Guerre froide » — carried by a taut rhythm section and vocal harmonies shared among the three musicians Elodie Martin, Adrien Morice and Mogan Picq. True to the KEXP aesthetic, the capture favours closeness, sound quality and the authenticity of live performance, without artifice. A filmed live session ideal for discovering the emerging French rock and chanson scene. Live session filmed in Rennes, French-language independent rock to savour for the freshness of a band spotted at the Trans Musicales.
