À Rebours (pronounced AH reu BOOR) is French for "against the grain."

À Rebours is a music project conceived and executed by Ian Stone. The project is intended for full band performances and the sound is a combination of several different genres--goth, shoegaze, darkwave, electro, hard rock--all colliding under a dark, melancholy umbrella. Aiming to extend beyond the borders of genre, this pastiche of many elements creates something familiar, but creatively unique for the listener. À Rebours is a message from outer space, a Victorian Romance, a walk through 20's Berlin, a haunting, a dark rock epic, a Tesla experiment, and an overcast day all in one.

Performances of late usually occupy either of two categories: a) one-man shows with several guitars, backing tracks and a lot of theatrics, or b) stripped down, solo acoustic shows with alternate versions of songs arranged for this purpose. À Rebours is in the process of recruiting individuals for live support.
