☆French Boutik☆
Back by popular demand for the 3rd time! French Boutik are a Paris based "pop moderniste" quintet. Although they are clearly 1960s influenced, this combo takes the moderniste part of their tagline seriously and avoids retro déjà vu, offering up a delightful original concoction of classic pop melodies, harmony drenched male/female vocals, a soupçon of swirling organ, and sharp French and English lyrics inspired by heroes such as Jacques Dutronc and Ray Davies but firmly planted in the present.
