TTRRUUCES is an English psychedelic rock duo created by Jules Apollinaire and Natalie Findlay, whose shared obsession with storytelling, sonic experimentation, and surreal aesthetics has shaped one of the most distinctive concepts in modern rock. Formed in 2019 but rooted in a creative partnership that began years earlier, the band merges theatrical ambition with infectious, genre‑bending songwriting.
Jules and Natalie first crossed paths in the summer of 2014 on Broadway Market in East London. Quickly discovering an uncanny creative chemistry, they began writing together almost immediately and soon became inseparable collaborators. After several years of constant music‑making, their shared fascination with psychedelia, narrative worlds, and experimental wordplay evolved into what would become TTRRUUCES. The band’s name itself emerged from one of Jules’s lifelong habits—playing with symmetrical letter structures—which produced the curious word that instantly resonated with them both.
Driven by the desire to fully immerse themselves in their debut project, the duo left London for a year in France to shape what would become their first album: a psychedelic rock opera told through two fictional characters, Sadie (Sad Girl) and Syd (Lost Boy). The self‑titled debut TTRRUUCES (2020) unfolds as a coming‑of‑age odyssey, following the pair in their search for a mysterious substance—TTRRUUCES—that promises an escape from an increasingly bleak world. The album is woven together by narration, visuals, and a unified, cinematic storyline that blurs the line between music and film.
TTRRUUCES introduced the world to this universe with their first single, “Sad Girl,” released in October 2019, followed by the full album in June 2020. Later that year, the duo released a haunting reimagining of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’s classic “I Put a Spell on You,” showcasing their ability to reinvent familiar material through their own psychedelic lens.
In 2023, TTRRUUCES returned with a new chapter. The singles “You Make Me Feel Good,” “Tainted Blue,” “Stfu,” and “Snakes” marked a shift toward a punchier, expansive sound and set the stage for their second album, Jjuuiices. Announced alongside the release of “Snakes,” the album arrived in October 2023, further deepening the band’s universe and confirming TTRRUUCES as ambitious storytellers unafraid to push the boundaries of rock, pop, and psychedelic art.
