Parisian quintet En Attendant Ana has been nonchalantly crafting perfect pop songs since 2014. Their debut 12-inch “Songs From The Cave” was released in late 2017, garnering rave reviews for their refreshing blend of nouveau French pop, C86 indie, and foggy Flying Nun influenced jangle.
“Lost and Found” begins with the ominous clanging of guitars, before launching into a churning whirl of sound; guitars slash, keyboards drone, trumpets wail, and drums crash. What follows are nine more songs of urgent and thrilling pop dazzle.; from the adrenaline-soaked anthem “This Could Be”, to the driving “R茅” with it’s rapturous “oohs” and Camille Fr茅chou’s uplifting trumpet fanfare, echoing Entwistle’s French horn lines from “Sell Out”-era Who. Vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Margaux Bouchaudon’s a yearning, tuneful register can’t help but recall the indie cool of Laetitia Sadier or Nico, but still boasts a style of her own. The clarity and timelessness of the band’s songwrit ing proves them to be a band filled with craft and promise.
“Lost and Found” is released on CD, black vinyl LP (a limited “sunset orange” version is available for direct accounts while supplies last), and via all Digital retailers.
