"Felt is still an obsession but Serge Gainsbourg also is one. I also discovered a lot of new music in the last few years thanks to the internet, so bossa beats or jazz chords sometimes subconsciously appear when I write a new song", says Michaël on Watoo Watoo's MySpace. Michaël and his wife Pascale form Watoo Watoo, and it is about time they made an appearance on Filles Sourires. The duo makes music for about ten years, they started off as an indiepopband but, as the quote shows, shifted to jazz, bossa and gentle electronics. New album La Fuite is just out, a great lazy summer album, with nods to Bebel Gilberto and St. Etienne. Perdu is the best song on the album, a perfect pop song that lights up every room.
In the past WW covered a few Gainsbourg-songs - I think they're the only ones who made their own version of Raccrochez C'est Une Horreur.

Heehee :) I wanted to propose a guestpost about WW, but I'm too lazy and all that. The new album is really good. :)
