Here’s a late summer gem to brighten your playlist. Residing in Paris, Coeur-Joie expertly blend UK and US indie pop influences like Cate Le Bon, Tim Presley, Deerhunter, and Stereolab with the French chanson, crafting a sound they call “post-twee pop.” The result is as twee as it is delightful.

Their debut LP, R​éminiscences,  follows their 2022 Allumettes Au Bout Des Îles EP (Hidden Bay Records). It is out now and it’s an absolute treat from start to finish. The bass, drums, and synth interplay will make it hard to sit still, while the contrast between sparse and rich guitar work keeps things engaging.

R​éminiscences takes the essence of French chanson and transforms it into something modern, yet comfortingly familiar. With plenty of potential radio-ready hits – check some of them below, the LP is a no regrets purchase available at Howlin’ Banana Records.
