| Musique Le Pop - L'ete EP |
Release Date: 5th June 2014
The sun is out, summer is pretty
much here, there is beer chilling in the fridge. What are we missing? Ah yes,
some Norwegian electro pop. Musique Le Pop are a trio of electro heads make
some delightfully floaty and dreamy pop that would suit a travelling montage in
a Manga film about kids trying to solve some big mystery. The EP starts with
'Mateo', a song that sounds more French than Norwegian with a Vanessa Paradis
meets Air vein running through it. Next up is 'In My Arms' which leans more
towards the Dubstar and St Etienne end of the spectrum as a chugging bass line
and electro-panpipes provide a lovely bed for the soft, soothing vocals of
Elisabeth Thorsen.
There is something very 90s
europop about 'Turn To Sand' but it's done in such a way that it just about
gets away with it as the cheesiness gets hidden beneath layers of sumptuous
synths and insistent rhythms that keep things chugging nicely along. 'Falling
In Love' is a gentle, jangly piece of loveliness that is all about summer
breezes and floaty dresses as the sun goes down on a cool roof top bar. The EP
finishes up with 'Dream Out Loud' and we're treated to an ethereal, forest
dwelling tune that flits around between the trees only to disappear as you get
close enough to reach out. There is more to Musique Le Pop than their name or
the early tracks on this EP suggest so I would recommend getting this for
yourself, it goes perfectly with cocktails.
