Louise Attaque - Louise Attaque (1997/2017) Hi-Res

The success of this French quarteron surprised everyone at the end of the 90s. Especially if the scene, where the group gives full effort, is for something, however, we should not forget the qualities of this first disc of the same name. In terms of distilling a folk rock strained to the stripped down and original instrumentation (guitars, violin, etc.), these four can be heard wonderfully. The proud look of the set reflects the simplicity they hold of their American idol, Violent Femmes group whose leader, singer guitarist Gordon Gano, produced Louise Attaque. These Britons have digested everything that makes the essence of authentic American music: folk, blues and country. Some pieces emerge as "I take you to the wind" and "Spit our wishes" where the voice of Gaëtan Roussel recalls that of Jacques Brel. Their second record As we said confirms all the good that must be thought of them and in fact, with Tue Wolf, one of the best French groups of the late 90's .-- Hervé Comte
