Simple but Charming

"I first heard of this band when watching "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"," in which Emmanuelle Seigner starred and one of her songs, "Don't Kiss Me Goodbye" really added to a beautiful film. There are other really enjoyable songs on this CD too, including "Sing Sing" and "Touch my Shadow" among others. The hallmark seems to be Emmanuelle's voice - she tends to over-enunciate her words. Everything is really precise, which I can tell from another review that some find annoying, but I find charming.



From a musical perspective, there is actually not a lot of talent. It seems like for the lead guitarist, it's a big deal to change chords. But it's great alternative/pop escapism, very catchy, sometime very moving. Worth a shot!"
