Two and a half years ago we were introduced to French garage rock outfit Monsieur Paul & Les Solutions<\/a>, and their phenomenal debut single Plagier Dutronc<\/em><\/a> ended up in the top half of my year-end list<\/a> of favorite singles & EPs. Last year the tune was released on a vinyl 7″, as part of the must-have Dans Mon Monde<\/em><\/a> EP, and anyone who still doesn’t have it now gets a new chance, because the hit can also be found on Surrealiste & Fantasmagorique<\/a><\/em>, the band’s first full-length album. However, there are many more reasons to add this record to your wantlist, because all thirteen psychedelic garage beat tracks here offer an exciting combination of irresistible melodies and catchy choruses, full of hooks, fuzz, reverb and y\u00e9-y\u00e9, rooted in the 60s. Among the standout tracks we have to mention the original Hey L\u00e9onard, Christmas surf tune Surfin’ Santa<\/em>, and great covers of Antoine’s Un \u00c9l\u00e9phant Me Regarde<\/em> and Richard Berry’s Louie Louie<\/em>. Although there are already over 5,000 covers<\/a> of the latter, this feminized French version as Louise<\/em> is easily one of the best.<\/p>\n
