Try to imagine what would happen if a trio of Serge Gainsbourg-obsessed Parisian art students travelled across the Atlantic to form a band and win over the hearts of jaded New Yorkers hand over fist. Now open your eyes. That band you were picturing is Die Romantik. After playing a tremendously well-received residency at NYC's Pianos this past February, the band has completed work on their debut LP, Narcissist's Waltz and we simply adore it. Equal parts Kings Of Convenience, French cafe, and Bright Eyes, The Music Slut gives Die Romantik a massive seal of approval. [...]

Last night was very likely the last show I'll ever see at Sin-e and I can't think of a better way to remember it. If I had to take an out of towner to see a single band and show them what the New York City music scene is all about, I'd take them to see Other Passengers . OP have been that local band I've been following since the very beginning. I can't even count the numerous times I've seen them play [...]
Tipsy from pastis and just handed free drink tickets, I shouted out to Matt of Ear Farm , "This is like my dream concert!" He'd organized the show of French and French-inspired indie music with a big assist from Mancino's Jonathan Mason, but in a parallel universe where I knew how to book bands and arrange venues, I probably would've compiled a very similar bill. After all, on any given day, France is playing a big part in my life. I've been teaching myself French for the last year, translating Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal and Sartre's [...]
Both talents on their own, I'd like to focus today on the collaborations between the band Die Romantik and filmmaker Henry Joost. There are only 2, so it's appropriate, and they're both gorgeous, which is also appropriate. [note: these video files can't be previewed obviously, so you'll need to have quicktime to watch them] Die Romantik & Henry Joost - "Nachtmusik Für Linnea" (huge) or (YouTube) This is simply a soft and perfect treasure, a seamless visual dialogue. The man sings apparently to Linnea, the coy and smiling blond, about how he wants her, while she is clearly with another [...]
EAR FARM's Three for Free: three EF approved, free and legal MP3s posted each week. This week, three songs from artists playing the upcoming EAR FARM Presents... show . More on these guys later this week - for now, just the music. I love this music. You owe it to yourself to come out to Union Hall this Saturday. Click on the artist name to go to their site, click on the song name to listen to the song. Listen: La Laque - "La Sirene dort" [...]
This post started off with a version of Serge's Elisa , send to me and sung by the wonderful Audrey Levy, she of Melody Nelson -blogfame. Yes, a part from hosting parties, discovering new bands and dj'ing, 'the French Holly Golightly' also sings. And very well, I might add. Elisa was recorded with Big Apple-based goth-rockers Die Romantik . But fear not, no industrial sounds or creepy screams, it's a happy duet that's as upbeat as the original. The song (about a 40-year old guy who asks his 20-year old girlfriend to pick the [...]
