A return to form in their 20-year career for the quirky, groovy French pop quartet of singer Thomas Mars guitarist brothers Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz and bassist Deck D’Arcy, in this seventh album, this time recorded in the Louvre no less. Tonight, featuring Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig is a standout, but there is also a consistent sweetness to the inherent melancholy to these tracks, from The Only One or Artefact, to the starker, more electronic All Eyes on Me, After Midnight, the opening title track, to the beautiful Winter Solstice. Overall, soft, lilting, delicate, gentle, catchy falsetto electro-pop from a band that are the French answer to Metronomy. Out on LOYAUTÉ / Glassnote Records.
