Canadian duo Lola Dutronic (Richard Citroen, Francoise Hart) count Serge Gainsbourg, Air and April March as their influences. On their debutalbum (released last month) they make gentle, electronica-driven popsongs that indeed breathe the spirit of the influences just mentioned. They do a lot of coverversions: one very Air-y version of Katrina & The Waves' Walking On Sunshine, La Maritza by Sylvie Vartan, Francoise Hardy's Ma Jeunesse Fout le Camp and BB's La Fin d'Été, that was also recorded by Hardy on the Ma Jeunesse-album, by the way. Posted below are Lola's version (1) of Ma Jeunesse, and Francoise's original (2). Here at Chez Filles Sourires we certainly like a band that makes tongue-in-cheeky French pop (ever heard Les Sans-Culottes, by the way?). Also, check some great Lola-remixes!dinsdag 8 november 2005

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI had no idea that there were so many versions of "Harley Davidson" out there.
We were thinking of having a go ourselves!
Thanks for the nice things you have to say about our album.
Nice to know that someone's paying attention.
