Why do we like this?

New obsession, relatively old tunes. While I'm not usually an indie power pop kinda guy, I'm a sucker for anything French that's somewhat inspired by surf and new wave.

We're listening to Concorde, a French indie electronic band spearheaded by Clement Froissart, a surfer and fashionista who we can envision as a mix of Ian Curtis trench style and Elvis Presley Hawaiian vibe. I found his work after being intrigued by this FreundevonFreund piece -- highly recommended for those who dig lifestyle blogging.

This tune is energetic and devastating, conjuring melancholic emotions reminiscent of early Killers, albeit being released 2 years ago. Sorry it's not fresh off the press, nor are they touring. At least you can enjoy the synth sounds - recommended to be enjoyed soaking up a bit of sun, if possible.
