Menagerie [CD]

On Menagerie, producer Dan Crane writes in the album's liner notes, the band "wanted to dabble in their 60's French pop influences but also explore a new sonic landscape mixing Moog synthesizers with string sections, horns with distorted guitars. They wished to imagine Gainsbourg and Bardot as indie rockers in 2008." The result: elegant, sexy, chic, bi-lingual, international grand guignol.
