If you're a filmdirector, and looking for a band who can score your movie that is set in a nondescript, hot Mexican bordertown and features drama, sex and mezcal dreams, the first call you make is to Calexico. If they are unavailable, or too expensive, you might consider Grimoon. This French-Italian band just released proper debut-album La Lanterne Magique, and your guess is right that they sing en francais. Solenn Le Marchand is their leadsinger, the music is mostly acoustic, with a prominent role for the violin. They do rock once in a while, but most of the time it's unplugged. At times, there are references to Dominique A and Francoiz Breut, but unfortunately most songs are just not good enough. Technically, they could improve too. Moka is an exception, the closest Grimoon get to a great popsong. The reason I'm telling you all this, is that I'm now part of Italian webzine Rockit's project, in which bloggers from all over the world review Italian indie music. Which is nice.
Grimoon - Moka
