What a wonderful time they had in the ’70s.

Very bittersweet, and a wee bit retro, mostly thanks to the lyrics.

A soulful, high-spirited album.

Like waves long a-coming and finally smashing on the rocks.

‘Head Stunts’ sounds more like a collection of singles than an album.

It’s not easy to explain to non-French readers what Fête de l’Humanité is…

It leaves you breathless.

Welcome to the fifties with Kitty, Daisy and Lewis!

Ten City Nation manage to create a mood of their own, which is uncommon enough for a first album to be notable.

Laurel Collective are like a summertime love, the kind that makes you enjoy the present, even if you know they’re not the one to brighten your future.

That’s enough to get the ‘Vuitton Blues’ indeed: it smacks of marketing exactly as much as the ugly Vuitton bags.

With their slow ups and downs, Her Name Is Calla deliver epic ballads of modern times, in a totally original manner.

Probably the last album from a so typically post-punk and new-wave band.

This music has nothing to say, but says it pleasantly: in short, an art of rhetoric, which reveals an intelligence, a talent, a culture, but no depth.

Nada Surf are good mainstream musicians, doing what they’re asked to do and what their public like: ballads of normal teenagehood. You can’t blame them.

It’s nice, but it sounds a bit like Islands without the energy to get up and dance; or like the Dandy Warhols without the rock’n’roll.

There is a lot of romance in ‘Fireproof’, a candlelit album embroidered on eternal folk themes.

The word ‘indie’ certainly doesn’t mean anything anymore (has it ever?), but as such, it is suitable for Bella.

With Bob Vylan, St Vincent, girl in red, Lizzy McAlpine and more.
