Nevski - Alligator
French indie-pop from a quartet of 24-year-olds who cite Belle & Sebastian among their influences, and whose name is almost certainly one of the nicknames I’ve had the pleasure of receiving over the years - how could I pass this by?
I couldn’t. I can’t. And I haven’t even got on to the lyrics to Alligator yet, which - being in French as they are - partly lie tantalisingly out of my understanding, but nonetheless to these English ears add even more of a playful bounce to the already entrancing melody.
Lovely stuff - and you can listen to and buy the whole EP through Bandcamp (link above).
