Led by Aurélien Luc Lebot, the French music collective appeared on my blog with their debut album Dow to You! Earth already four years ago (!) and I must say, there's something in their music that makes me keep going back. Especially the this year is the time the band showed us the followup called Lame 13.
There's something from The Boxer Rebellion in the Frenchmen's music - it's not only the vocals with similar falsetto flavour to the ones from Nathan Nicholson. It's also the overall style - they play indie rock but not really: there's tones of post-rock influences, experiments in form, noise passages. Goes On is a fine example here: it's opened by a heavy post-rock riff that suddenly slows down and the whole thing transforms into a moody ballad, almost Immanu El-style, only to give place to a fast, indie rock Savior soon enough. This genre flexibility is so impressive, especially that the whole, long album still stays within the darker and moodier vibes realm and I love it.
This is the kind of music that successfully bridges the mainstream sound and alternative incline towards darkness. I wish they got bigger as their music could appeal to big crowds really.
