You were a mild sensation
Saloon - Le Weekend
Saloon's Amanda Gomez has a voice that is dew-bedabbled and fresh, and it makes 'Le Weekend' feel like a sort of summertime-only dessert. Comparisons to Stereolab are certainly warranted, as this song bounces along with the same francophonic energy and statically-meshed instruments as Laetitia Sadler and co., but Saloon's work seems simply to have more passion and excitement in it.
Unfortunately, Saloon broke up after the release of their debut album, "(This is) What We Call Progress", but you can still listen to their stuff right here.
p.s. That was maybe the worst post I've ever written. Anyway, there won't be anything up on Monday on account of Memorial Day (Molars is actually a joint-venture between Interscope Records and the Department of Justice, haven't I mentioned that before??). Have a good weekend-
