might be because the label is actually from canada (profound lore).

Yeah, that's an excellent soundtrack. It was a major inspiration on bands like
Air.

SYRFox · 04.04.2008, 06:21 AM

Oh also, check Rubin Steiner, he's amazing. And of course M83 but everybody already knows them/him

Everyneurotic · 04.04.2008, 11:24 PM

m83 suck.

d~rek · 04.05.2008, 12:15 AM

There's plenty of great french band:
Clara Clara
Coming Soon
Angelo Spencer (now in Olympia)
Bear Creek
Bérurier Noir
Brigitte Fontaine
Ned
See Hi Oh My
Antsy Pants (mostly french)

Cantankerous · 04.05.2008, 12:21 AM

air
magma
serge gainsbourg

and that's all i can think of

Torn Curtain · 04.05.2008, 05:43 AM

It's funny how I've never heard of most of the mentionned bands, this reflects how much the French music media suck.

SYRFox · 04.05.2008, 05:46 AM

Yeah, except for Noise Magazine, I can't think of ONE french magazine / radio / etc that deals with good music...

Torn Curtain · 04.05.2008, 05:48 AM

Téléphone FTW

More seriously no one has mentioned Noir Désir, I like them up to 666667 club (even if the Doors, Bunnymen and then Fugazi influences are perhaps too obvious).

i heard by chance Noir Désir's Tostaky recently, and it brought good memories of my teenagehood... all the parties at friends' places where that song would always pop out at some point...

no one mentioned Dat Politics yet... I really like "Plugs Plus" and "Sous Hit" in particular.

i remember i really liked Little Rabbits' "Yeah!" around the time when it came out, but I haven't listened to it in years and I'm not sure how I would feel about it today.

Taxi Girl, I find them a bit disappointing overall, but they had a few nice songs...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYMI4g60Hl8
I can't find a video for "Cherchez le garçon"...

I like the lyrics on this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzE12BiQYnc
Mec, comment t'épelles Paris ?
Paris ? P-A-R-I-S.
Non, non, non, non, non,
Paris, ça s'épelle M-E-R-D-E.

I have never been able to get into Métal Urbain neither... they seem to be more popular outside of France than in France (I think S. Albini cited them as an influence for Big Black... probably because of the drum machine)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_HMXbk3g08

I have actually difficulties finding a french band that I really love, I like some individual songs from many bands, but...

o o o · 04.05.2008, 07:21 AM

by the way, not a band and I know next to nothing about Daho's discography, but I really love this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnCdsh4DKYA
This one reminds me about my childhood... And the video is good too.
