Le lundi 25 février, Clara Clara jouait à Caen, au Groarg Palace , l'un des lieux incroyables que Ecuyes , l'organisateur de l'événement, parvient régulièrement à sortir de son chapeau. La concurrence du soir était rude: 1) Calexico + the Dodos au Cargö et 2) la fiesta de sortie du numéro #2 de L'Oiseau au Chef Raide avec toute la bande de Combien Mille . Un lundi! Il manquait donc quelques têtes de gens qui AURAIENT dû être là... Mais, au Palace, l'ambiance était bonne et les [...]
Oh put***, Clara Clara , ce soir à Caen!!! Les mots ne sont pas à la hauteur alors je tente le gif: C'est au Groarg Palace (toutes les infos ici ou là ). Ceux qui viennent pas sont de droite.
Nous articulerons par la présente notre propos en deux parties bien dissociées. Il y aura une conclusion à la fin et ces quelques lignes tenaient lieu d'introduction. le Big Band Café, Peter Hook + The Fuck The Fuck comme son nom l'indique est un groupe saint loi... Il aurait pu venir du pays du soleil [...]
Ever watch a video and think "this might be 'art for the sake of make art' and STILL like it?" Until today, stuff like this would have been lost on me, but after watching this clip for Animal Collective 's "In The Flowers", I think I finally "get it": I think that I am not supposed to get it at all! You sure showed me, Animal Collective. At least I know why you went through all the trouble of picking out such a weird album cover . If you're looking for trippy, atmospheric [...]

Yeah, we have your new favorite music for the summer. Grab some lemonade, lay out in the sun, and succumb to the greatness of Clara Clara , lo-fi noise pop at its absolute finest.

I've written a lot about songs in which acoustic guitars are more than acoustic guitars. Think Neutral Milk Hotel, Elliott Smith, "I Summon You" by Spoon. In each case, you don't picture a person with a guitar, but whatever universe the artist wants you to imagine. Francois Virot - Cascade Kisses. We had some server problems, by the way, which why you haven't seen at least one of us in quite a while. Sorry about that. But the glitch gave me a chance to dig through some music I've been meaning to get to, including Francois Virot, whose newest record...
Today, I have a little treat that showed up in my inbox the other day. It's a mellow little track (filled with Neil Young -i-ness) by Colossal Yes . Maybe you have seen it elsewhere on the internets? If not, make with the downloading. Downloadable: "Charlemagne's Big Thaw" (box.net m4a) Ba Da Bing Records page is here . Amazon MP3 page is here . eMusic page is here .

François Virot is a rare bird, who belongs to that endangered kind of musicians that are so devoted to their art that they never care to spend some time at home. You may not know it yet, but in the last few years, this hyperactive musician originating from the city of Lyon (he also plays the drums with his brother Charles in the ballistic noise pop trio Clara Clara ) spent more time on the road than your three favorite bands put together… And together with the zillions of Clara Clara records, [...]
credit: beatriz lanchas i have been really getting into france's francois virot's 2008 release yes or no the past few days. i wouldnt say its a folk record, but its not a pop record either. kinda fills the void between the two. its akin to an animal collective record but sans the unlistenable parts that seem to occasionally plague their records. definitely worth checking out.. not the one francois virot myspace Tags: france , francois virot , yes or [...]
I don't know about anyone else but I think Francis Virot is great for rainy days. He's been playing music forever and has been playing the drums with his brother in Clara Clara. This debut album, Yes or No , has tracks that remind me of the Shins. I like how his voice goes from high to low and back in his folkish melodies. The album dropped last Fall and you can get it here . We got 3 tracks below that will easily compliment your weekend. Enjoy! [...]
It's going to be a cold weekend and what better way to warm up than staying inside and listening to great music? Be safe and enjoy the weekend. Toubab Krewe - Autorail Home Video - I Can Make You Feel It Public Service Announcers - Beat Totem (Forest Floor Remix) Bearries - Killing Time (FIGURE Remix) Frankie Knuckles x Animal Collective - Your Love My Girls Mason Proper - Love Lockdown Gets Innocuous Francois Virot - Casscade Kisses [...]
For most of us, it's cold, snowy, and downright miserable outside. But in many respects, this week is also one of celebration. For one, we're currently taking in the sights and sounds of Chicago's Tomorrow Never Knows Festival , and if you've been reading our coverage, you'll know it's been unbelievably awesome. But that's really only the beginning, as in the coming hours and days, we'll be unveiling a few more goodies that would warm even the coldest of souls. So until then, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape. TNK Fun: [...]
With all the glowing reviews of Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion recently, I imagine the imitators will be coming out of the woodwork in droves. I bet I will read something along the lines of "they sound like Animal Collective" a thousand times this year. The truth is nobody sounds like Animal Collective, but there are those who the comparison suits well. Francois Virot is one of those guys. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because I've posted his bio after the jump, but I [...]
So yes, this is supposed to happen on Tuesday, ideally. But the world is not always an ideal place and sometimes you wake up at 5 *PM* when you meant to wake up at 5 *AM*, and then before you know it you're not sure what day it is and you've had six cups of coffee and you've been wearing your favorite polar bear pajamas for three days and things get ugly. But now, here we are with another collection of mp3s which are very listenable indeed, and that feels great. I guess sometimes the [...]
