Future Loves Past - Future Loves Past EPFuture Loves Past , c’est un nom un peu étrange on vous l’accorde pour un groupe de folk. On a découvert le groupe de Phoenix avec leur premier EP éponyme. Les six américains proposent une musique simple mais très agréable. C’est une rencontre entre le son rock des années 70 ( The Feelies par exemple) et la folk moderne que font des groupes comme Noah and The Whale , The Leisure Society ou Real Estate. Les chansons sont riches en mélodies. Chez Vocododo , on aime! ф Future Loves Past , what a strange name for an indie folk band. We discover ...Vocododo14 May 2012

Simian Ghost – YouthAt first glace the Swedish three-piece Simian Ghost is entirely unremarkable. They make the kind of noise infused indie-pop we've heard a million times before, and they named their album Youth , which has to be the least imaginative title for an album ever. However, Simian Ghost show once again that there's no need to be original or distinctive to produce brilliance. Youth is an album that arrives at a time when many are growing fatigued with basic guitar music of its like. Simian Ghost's strength comes in part from their attitude. Youth may be a dull title ...The 4055 March 2012
