About

In 2025, S/E/L/F becomes SECND SELF.
Remky and Vii-Pii team up with new singer Myrtille (yes, that’s French for Blueberry).

Lots of new releases in sight, and some live shows round the corner too!

Secnd Self is the embodiment of reinvention, channeling fresh energy and ambition.
Emerging from the legacy of S/E/L/F, this Paris-based band has entered a bold new chapter since reuniting in 2020, with a refined vision and mature approach to their music.
Their sound blends samples and live instrumentation, shifting from dark, ethereal melodies to heavier beats, creating a distinctive style rooted in trip-hop while exploring new creative horizons.
Formed in 2000 by Remky (synths, programming, vocals) and Vii-Pii (guitars, programming, backing vocals), Secnd Self gained recognition for their EP [Thump] and dynamic live shows.
After years apart, the duo reunited for Thump’s 20th anniversary, reworking their sound and welcoming Myrtille as their new lead singer.
Under their new name, they debuted the new single Hold Tight and are now crafting new tracks while preparing for a long-awaited return to the stage.
Step into their universe—where dark, aerial melodies and powerful beats redefine the essence of modern trip-hop.

Songs styles represent the many different flavors of the Electronica / Trip Hop genre: from chill (listen to Past Our Eyes) to electro pop (as in Empty Room or Let’s Free Them) with heavy beats (Thump, Qui Sait?) and aerial lead melodies (Outside, Rest Child), always with elaborate song structures from a combination of samples and live instruments (cf Work, Love Unfair). The band favours downtempo but also tries some more upbeat from time to time (Bomb This Town).
