Laure Briard


My working knowledge of the yé-yé revival is pretty much non-existent if I'm honest - does such a scene even exist? Rightly or wrongly, Laure Briard has been lumped into it by some commentators. Her music sounds like quality indie-pop to me. Regardless of categories, her recent LP, 'Révélation', is a total delight from start to finish. Check out the whole thing here.

Ye-ye revival? Not heard about that but I am a sucker for some classic French pop and this really fits the bill. Quite excellent. Love the video too - weird. Thanks for the tip. Will be looking further.
