Polychrome is a musical project imagined by two brothers, Simon & Maxime Senizergues. Having grown up in France in an artistic environment, they both received classical training. They quickly developed a deep passion for their respective instruments, piano and guitar. Maxime continued his classical training at the Paris Conservatory (CNSM) while Simon pursued jazz at the American School of Modern Music. Their artistic bond naturally led them to create their own music together, at the crossroads of rock, classical music, and jazz.
Lulled in their youth by the Beatles albums, their main influences come from British seventies’ progressive rock including Pink Floyd and King Crimson, unclassified artists such as Robert Wyatt or XTC, as well as from Steve Reich’s American minimalist music.
Now joined by Omar Nicho, Sergio Santiago, and Loïck Tournois, Polychrome expresses its full potential through a dreamlike, aesthetic, organic, and inventive musical language. The band’s sound could be summed up as follows: airy keyboard harmonies, an ongoing dialogue between the two guitars, sharp and intricate writing from the bass/drums duo, all uplifted by instinctive melodies sung by voices with complementary timbres.
With their debut album Equilibrium (2022), they delivered a work where psychedelia and lyricism intertwine. The press praised “an impeccable instrumental achievement” (Prog Critique) and “a powerful work infused with the essence of great progressive music” (Highlands Magazine). According to Progressive Rock Central (USA), Polychrome “can bring back the sounds of some 70s seminal bands, while at the same time produce some of the most unique new prog.”
Following the success of their first recording, Polychrome will release their second album, Someday, in January 2026. With this new album, the band offers a rock meditation on the passage of time, the fragility of existence, and the beauty of cycles that transcend us.
"There are an enormous number of ideas in Polychrome's music, not to mention impeccable instrumental production. Often dark psychedelia, enthusiastic jazz-rock, melodic pop-rock, ... In short, progressive rock as we like it!"
Prog Critique (France)
"All in all, POLYCHROME, which was totally unknown to me until now, is a wonderful surprise inspired by one of the richest and most exciting branches of prog. To be discovered!"

"They are a dynamic band with a multitude of talent. They can bring back the sounds of some 70s seminal bands, while at the same time produce some of the most unique new prog these ears have heard in a while."
Progressive Rock Central (USA)
"The digipack is sumptuous, with a wealth of illustrations full of character, evocative and totally in tune with the tracks. This magnificent piece - a must-have - has been available on Bandcamp since April 2."
Profil Prog (Canada)
"With Equilibrium, French progressive rock band Polychrome create a work of conceptual art within reach of their classic models, with a healthy dose of 1960s verve. In almost 70 minutes, there's mass and class. 9,5 / 10"
