The Thundering Grins of Je Suis France
by Dan
Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Je Suis France - "Wizard of Points" It seems the Wizard of Points exists in all senses, in one being, that commands this song with his hand, on a joystick, or held before him in that "you are under my telekinetic control" kind of stance. So: i) The Wizard of Points - in a mathematical sense, a controller of the intersections of axes. can you hear them all? Like the 6 faces of a cube, smooth and blaring, as one.  Je Suis France - "California Still Rules" Oh yeah, and they're also a rock band. From the eerie waters of reverb and the gathering clouds of drums emerges a rock song like a pink camera flash. Poof, and it's over. [Out May 29th, Site (with more music!)] [art by dsnhaus] Posted by Dan at April 11, 2007 1:42 AMComments

I feel there is a certain element of true youth wrapped into an envelope of seduction - very nice! Seems like a great collective effort, I presume you will be popular with the Cdn scene especially with women's choice awards ;)...Montreal is a great start for the French love the strong, creative types...
