.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: At first listen, you might dismiss Les Sans Culottes as :
: a novelty act -- an international, frat-party-rocking :
: bunch of kids playing in the shallow pool of Austin :
: Powers-influenced retro-pop and psychedelia. Between :
: band members with stage names like Celine Dijon, Jean :
: Luc Retard and Kit Kat Le Noir and the sheer goofiness :
: of a band name that translates as "those without :
: undergarments", these folks just reek of gimmickry. :
: :
: However, LSC have a peculiar kinship with such cult :
: acts as Gwar and Dread Zeppelin: they're all musicians :
: brimming with talent whose fabricated mythology is so :
: irresistibly over the top that listeners are dying to :
: buy into it. Just look at chanteur Clermont Ferrand :
: (ex-Les Refusals): furs, frilly purple shirt, :
: disheveled locks in his eyes, bottle of vodka in tow -- :
: but his sultry croon is honed by six years of painful :
: dues-paying. :
: :
: Its leap in recording quality aside, Faux Realism could :
: easily have been pulled from a 1967 time capsule. The :
: album's guitar tones, bridges, hooks, backing vocals :
: and even choice of bass guitars invokes some hardcore :
: nostalgia. LSC really did their homework, too -- in :
: addition to collecting the appropriate elements, :
: they've learned how to use them well. Album opener "Sa :
: Sabine" mixes clean electric-guitar arpeggios, a solid :
: back-beat, sexy, feminine "doo doo do doo" vocals, fuzz :
: bass and lyrics like (and bear in mind that this is a :
: translation) "Sabine drives her Saab convertible. :
: Sabine is a yuppie snob. She loves her car. I am :
: dreaming of sand castles." :
: LSC bust out the mellotron and organ solos, skillfully :
: delivered by key-man Morris "Mars" Chevrolet", on "SOS :
: Elephants", a tune about an escaped elephant in heat. :
: There's a subtle, revolutionary message here, wrapped :
: in a mild gross-out ("He has abundant feeling. He finds :
: ravishing, a powerful politician. One may hear his :
: cries throughout Paris: 'Sos elefants!'"). And just to :
: remind us that this is a modern album (as if :
: elephant-buggery songs were all the rage in '66 -- :
: Ed.), Faux Realism includes the horn-laden, wah-wah :
: heavy Bert Roden remix of "Funky Peripherique", :
: suitable for all manner of modern-day bodily gyrations. :
: :
: Most of these songs will seem more than a little :
: familiar, inspiring regular episodes of "Hey, isn't :
: that a poorly-disguised rip-off of (fill in the :
: blank)?" Please consult the Spinal Tap rule book on :
: this point. Of course there are licks and chord choices :
: that hauntingly recall classic tunes, but once again, :
: it's simply the musical language and characteristics of :
: popular radio circa 1966-69; how distinct was each song :
: from the next? :
