[from Montreal] I loved, loved, loved
this band – they’ve got a retro sound that manages to be modern and special –
ethereal poppy female vocalizing over shimmering guitars – some combo of 80s
soft rock, synth pop, and disco – synth yacht rock? Bluesy French pop with
psychy soft rock instrumentation? - in
same school as MGMT maybe but more pop than psychedelia –a more sincere Cansei
de Ser Sexy – kind of Blondie - fairy disco: all high notes and ethereality but
still rocking – they were loungey and groovy, simple and complex – I admired
their ability to restrain themselves and pick the perfect notes – the kid with
a fluff of hair on the front of his head played drums - the kid in the old man
sweater played the flute – the kid with the sculpted afro in slouchy baggy-skinny-pants
played bass – the girl in a black crop top and black mom jeans played keyboards
and provided the vocals, her incessant hair flipping (she looked like F.
Bueller’s girlfriend) annoyed me but she managed to seduce the audience very
effectively – my favorite though was the bleach blonde kid playing electric
guitar in black skinny jeans and an awful color-block jacket (amusingly, I
think the yuppie older couple in the front were his parents)
