Currently Listening: Pas Chic Chic

Pas Chic Chic are a Montreal-based collective spawning orchestral synth-rock. Their latest, 12" came out just last week.

Bolstered by members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fly Pan Am and Set Fire To Flames, they join hands betweeen distinctively French-and-German sensibilities - whether it's the effervescence of French Pop, as experienced on "Allez Vous Faire Influencer" (hear-it-here) with it's gurgling synths evoking some intergalactic lounge of go-go dancing romantics and tall, dark mysterioso anti-heroes, or on the even more gaping, motorik-beat shunted space-out of "Premier Souffle" conjuring the darker, almost trance like jam outs of Neu-esque golden-age Krautrock.
