Why does the floor move?

Damnit!! There's nothing worse (for a music blogger) than a band that really reminds you of someone but you just can't put your finger on it. It's been a long week...

Anyway along with Finland's other recent and great export, Le Corps Mince de Françoise, Zebra & Snake have really caught my eye. Excluding the above nameless band they remind me of bits of The Tough Alliance, Low-era Bowie mixed with a whole heap of late 70's/early80's glam-art-rock.

Here's the entrancing track "Colours":

Kippis!

That's why Mums go to Finland

Finland's Le Corps Mince de Françoise have been on the ol' hype-radar for some time now (ever since Vice Germany blogged about them back last summer) and we fell in love with their debut(?) song "Cool & Bored".

We caught them last Autumn when they played at Proud Galleries here in London but came away a bit perplexed. They were really good live but for some unknown reason they played every song they've written except "Cool & Bored"... WTF? Not sure if they wanted to distance themselves from the song which gained them so much attention but it's not like it was used on a world-famous McDonalds advert or something...

Anyway, they've just released their new song "Bitch Of The Bitches" and to celebrate the fact here's a remix by Limping Boy (who we think is producing their album) and any song that references Twin Peaks is *ahem* damn fine in our book!

Here's some LCMdF goodies for you:
