"It is actually some 3 decades after the master Jacques Brel, a new great phenomenon of french music. Rhythm, lyrics, voice and instruments: everything is so perfect that you fell bewitched by this music coming from France. Really enthusiastic, a very good choice to discover the new generation of french great artists such as "La Tordue", "Dominique A" or "Yann Tiersen". A music for the happiness of the ears..."
Musette swing with a certain Brel influence

"Têtes raides brings together all the beautuful sounds in the french music tradition and turnes them into one. From french chanson to musette to swing. There's not one bad song on the whole album. They're funny without turning the whole thing into one big joke, and there melancholic without making you wish you were dead.
Great music for those who enjoy violin, accordion, swing-guitar and a warm voice.
If you like this try "Andrew Bird's bowl of fire", they do the same thing with the american music tradition."
