Legacy — Margaux and Alex — is a French sibling duo, who have developed a sound that they’ve dubbed “hyper rock,” which features elements of rock, metal, pop and electronic music, created through a mix of analog and electronic instrumentation. Thematically, the pairs work touches upon frustration and heartbreak.

The French sibling duo’s latest single, the breakneck-paced, anthemic “So Close To Me” is anchored around a propulsive backbeat, a strummed and looping guitar line and dueling boy-girl vocals paired with rousingly anthemic hooks. Sonically recalling Chicago‘s My Gold Mask and The Kills but with nods to post-punk and darkwave, “Close To Me” is a song that reveals a band with a bold and fresh take on a familiar sound.

Thematically, the new single, as the band explains is about the difficulty in finding your soulmate. “It’s a a subject we’ve been hearing a lot, and we felt it was important to talk about,” the French duo says in press notes. “In the end, what does it really matter if we don’t share our happiness? For the music, we took inspiration from Placebo for the guitar sound and tried to fuse alternative rock and EBM.”
