Laid back French Pop
music, it s a popular thing. Air and Tahiti 80 have paved the
way to allow similar artists a chance at gaining mainstream success
and on first impressions Orwell appear to have what it takes.
The title
track is certainly a fine piece
of mid-tempo pop joy, possibly because it s just a Stereolab
song, they can t fool me. Nonetheless, I say there s
nothing wrong with a bit of plagiarism when it s done to
such a high standard.
There isn
t a great deal you can say
about a single that only has the one standout track. The B-sides slow
down the pace just a bit too much, leading to some disappointing tunes
which don t do much to keep you interested, you ll
not listen to them again. However, Orwell have shown enough
talent in the track Toutes Les Nouvelles Parlent D
Hier to demand your attention, one to keep an eye on boys and
girls.
7/10, Richard
