Watoo Watoo, the pride of Bordeaux for over 15 years, are Pascale and Michaël, who love Astrud Gilberto, Gainsbourg, Young Marble Giants and Stereolab. A new album’s just out, first track Un Lundi Comme Un Autre is one of the strongest songs. Love that music box intro. There’s a Young Marble Giants cover on the album as well. Download 2 songs for free HERE.
Le Couleur is a Montreal-based quartet, fronted by the lovely Laurence (who has Vietnamese roots). Their music refers mostly to Stereolab, but they’re not afraid to add some kitschy (poppy, if you like) elements as well. Which is good. Listen to Billet pour Paris, for instance. Their album (and singles) are downloadable for FREE on their Bandcamp-page, HERE.
