Post Description

The blurb describes the French trio’s album as a cocktail of British and American alt-rock, which may be so but there’s a poppier feel to it top, especially on things like the bouncy Burning Land and the catchy Twenty Five where  they follow the same accessible radio friendly route bands like Pavement and Sebadoh (both confessed influences) pursued to broaden their audience. Fuzzy guitars, blurry, nasal vocals, back to basics production and arrangements coalesce to produce 10 tracks of, as the PR says, scruffy pop, as engagingly appealing on the raspy bass anchored Nebraska as the lighter, sun-kissed Madonna In Love.  On scurrying opening cut Headstrong, Pierre Cristofari aptly sings “it’s the same old story, told a hundred times”. But they tell it well.
