So many electro pop debuts for 2009, so little time! Here we have Le Corps Mince de Françoise , an up-and-coming girly trio hailing from the mean streets of Helsinki. The band (which translates to The Skinny Body of Francoise, for the record) is releasing their debut single, "Bitch of the Bitches" on January 26th, 2009. Playful, chaotic, and interesting, Le Corps Mince de Françoise's debut is fresh with promise. The track bursts with elements of Peaches , CSS , and even a bit of Bollywood gone electro to boot. Ah yes, and of [...]
Amadou & Mariam - Sabali My apologies for my lack of updates! Here are some of my favourite tunes of the last few weeks. Annie - Two Of Hearts Still unreleased. Friendly Fires - Paris [Aeroplane Remix] From their Paris (2008) single. Gui Boratto - Anunciación From Kompakt's Total 9 (2008) compilation. La Roux - Quicksand [...]
This is a mix that I'v wanted to post for a while, it's not as if you haven't heard some of the songs but they are all top fooking notch! Enjoy. Hang Me Out To Dry (Hostage Remix) - Cold War Kids Kids (Soulwax Remix) - MGMT In Da Club (Disco Villains Remix) - 50 Cent Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (The Teenagers Remix) - [...]
I'm becoming a fan of Le Corps Mince De Françoise way too quickly. As in I've never heard one of their originals but I'm still in love with them. The most recent cut to catch my oh-so-easily caught attention is the Les Gillettes remix of their "Ray-Ban Glasses." It's got a much more raw vibe than does "Bitch of the Bitches," but it's still every bit as catchy. So decent. Heard first on Discobelle (and later throughout the blogging universe ). Le Corps Mince De Françoise - "Ray-Ban Glasses [...]
Le Corps Mince De Françoise, our favorite band to emerge from Helsinki since I dunno when, has a new single coming out October 29th on New Judas . You can stream "Ray-Ban Glasses" in it's entirety on the band's MySpace (duh). While previous comparisons of the band have ranged from Chicks on Speed to CSS, with this new song the band seems to be channelling their inner-M.I.A. right down to the galang, galang. Le Gillettes is on remix duty and seems to pop out the baile a bit more than on the original: [...]
This shit is so good! Knocked me out when I first listened to it. You should hear the original, it's one of the best tracks of the year. Downtown from New Judas produced the first single from Le Corps Mince De Françoise , three girls from Helsinki that will tear it up when you hear them in the club. If their earlier stuff sounded like CSS, they now sound like you got three M.I.A's or something. We're leaking the Les Gillettes remix of the track and it is not far [...]
Music Export Finland reports that indie/dance act Le Corps Mince de Françoise have been tapped by UK mag Metro as a band to watch: http://musex.blogspot.com/2008 /09/lcmdf-metro-magazines-one- to-watch.html
In response to Discodust 's recent update concerning the lack of a better name for the "Future Disco" style of music that engulfs Russ Chimes ' latest endeavor (a remix of Le Corps Mince de Françoise 's track, "Bitch of the Bitches"), I believe I may (with the help of a good friend) have come up with a solution: My people, we shall call it Epiglam. And yes, I could spend a good amount of time explaining to you why I've picked that particular name, but something tells me that simply having you listen [...]
Une fois n'est pas coutume, cette grande cruche de Tania Bruna-Rosso a servi a quelque chose en me faisant découvrir Le Corps Mince de Françoise, un trio d'électro-pop en provenance de Finlande où toutes les femmes sont blondes et nagent dans des criques à l'eau aussi pure que les larmes d'une colombe. Bref, rien de bien consistant à se mettre sous la pré-molaire, le myspace du groupe ne comptant que 2 morceaux et la seule actu en date étant un passage dans un podcast des inrocks. Le Corps Mince De Françoise [...]
French name? check Lazers and bright colours? check Gif-animated pix on Myspace? check Wear animal masks like it's totally spontaneous/crazy? check The promiscuous lyrics with underlying "deep" cryptic content about womens equality? check Fashionable/synth/"badger sleeping on head"-hair? check Looking anywhere BUT in the camera + totally unaware that your pic was just taken? check Making illustrations with triangles and clouds and [...]
So, I've been missing in action (it's a shame nobody can say M.I.A. anymore without confusion) for the past month. Honestly, there hasn't been much keeping me from updating other than sheer relaxation. School is over, and I'm moving to New York in a few weeks--life could not get better. Well, it probably could. Anyways, less about me, more about what I like. OK so it's still kind of about me. How selfish. Apologies later. No surprise that I'm in love with Mates of State's new album Re-Arrange Us. I don't understand when [...]
Woah, I am in blogglove. Le Corps Mince de Françoise is so fucking wacky. Perhaps CSS would've nerded out like this had they been born in Helsinki. Or they kinda remind me of Chicks on Speed re-imagined for 2010. And yeah, well it may be way too early to declare this, but Le Corps Mince de Françoise is my new favorite band even with only one song on their MySpace. "Cool and Bored" is just waiting to be the hipster anthem... watch out: Le Corps Mince de Françoise - "Cool And Bored" [...]
