No, tis not THIS Terrain Vague we’re talking about, no ‘power grind, violent punk’ on this blog. It’s this happy duo. French duo Vincent & Marion shared a love for Jacno, Bonnie Banane and Michel Berger, and started making music. The bandname that isn’t mentioned is Stereolab, which is odd ’cause the British band is all over the music of Terrain Vague (even the bandname could be a Stereolab songtitle). In any case, all good references, no? Really dig their new EP, check out the older singles too.

Kacimi is a producer who loves the sixties sounds, and makes music with several guest singers. His latest track is with Wendy Martinez, who was featured on this blog a few times. The result is a psych rocking, kaleidoscopic track. Bring out the heavy eyeliner:

Baroque/chamber pop from Montreal, by Les Passagers = Andréanne Muzzo & Nicolas Ferron Geoffroy. Active since 2013, they combine Françoise Hardy, modern psych and bands like Broadcast, Stereolab and the like. From the new EP, this colourful, Motown-tempo track:

One of the newest and most interesting voices in French music, Anna Majidson. This track, titlesong of her new EP, is a gorgeous, modern, beats-heavy track with just enough tristesse to make it a real Sad Banger.

Very sweet, dreamy track from the second album by French-Canadian singer Jeanne Côté:

From Quebec, and with a lotta sultry soul in her voice and music (gotta love that electric piano), this is the strongest song on Delphine’s new EP:

French-Candian post-punk. Hyphen hyphen hype! The song isn’t about condiments, ‘rather sarcastically alluding to the delicious tomato-based sauce with the line, “L’affaire est ketchup”, a Québec expression meaning: “All is well”.’
