This week's party brings us a Darwin Deez remix by Jake Bullit that was pretty much blogged everywhere. Then we have the final version for Climbing Walls, from Strange Talk (there was a demo running around for a while already). After that we go over to Poney Express , a french electro pop band that released their second album earlier this month. Going over to California Wives , with their 1st single from Affair, the debut EP and finishing with French Horn Rebellion , that are releasing their debut album "The [...]

Always wondered how Joy Division would sound if they were fronted by a fragile French fille? Here's your chance. Brest, from the new Poney Express album, sounds like they ripped the rhythmtrack from JD's Atmosphere and then added PE-singer Ana's vocals (well, sighs) over it. It's like heavy petting against the Berlin Wall. Like watching Brix Smith put on black stockings and clipping them to her garter belt. Like Susan and Joanne from Human League having a... let's not carried away here. If you liked the countryfied nouvelle chansons of Poney Express, like this great [...]

Remember Poney Express? Boys plus girl making countryrock with a French twist. This was their great ode to Paris. Imagine my surprise when I heard Palladium, a track from their upcoming new album. So synthesized, it sounds like an Alizée track. Or maybe more like Human League, because Martin Rushent produced. Ana and Robin added Michael from AS Dragon and Gerard from Vegomatic t o the band. Another new track you can hear on Myspace is more in that country-folkish atmosphere - makes me very curious about that new cd, because I really [...]

PONEY EXPRESS on MySPACE . From the LP DAISY STREET , 2008 >>> [ MP3 ] "Poupee" [ MP3 ] "Le Bruit Du Dehors"

No shortage of young fresh acts to burst out of France this year. Take Poney Express. I'd like to quote fellow blogger Aidan on PE's song Paris de Loin: "There's a song on the radio these days in France which captures this longing to burst out of the city and into the country. The song we're talking about, 'Paris De Loin' ('Paris from afar'), exudes this desire to escape the capital. It opens with a pulsating bassline full of adrenaline, and then bursts free with acoustic strumming and brushed drumming like those whirring bicycle wheels we described above. [...]
