Free Music Notes for Motifs

Free Music Review: Give me more!
Hit: 5 Stars

After my CD arrived I quickly sammpled the songs and found myself asking "Why did you buy this?", but then after a few listenings it grew on me - or more to the point, I learned to appreciate it - now I only want more Paris Combo! After growing up in the US and growing horribly bored with US music (and it's tight pigeon holed categories) this perks up my ears - it's different.

Motifs Poster

With a sound made up of equal parts bossa nova and classic chanson transported almost unchanged from the 1960s, plus American jazz, Argentinean Tango, bal musette and the Manouche swing made famous by Django Reinhardt, Paris Combo undeniably personifies that city's aesthetic. French music and film tend to share an elegant, humorless, surreal, coolly theatrical artificiality so ingrained that observed or remembered passion becomes more seductive than the real thing. Style-over-substance is merely a different reality, no less involving than daily life. The band's membership includes a guitarist from Madagascar, a keyboardist/trumpeter from Australia, a French drummer and a French-Algerian guitarist, each of whom contribute whimsical, cosmopolitan images from their own travels. Bandleader-singer Belle du Berry's lyrics are wry metaphors, in which estrangement, loss and desire are experienced in nightclubs under the light of pink lampshades and each carefully posed film-noir frame is wreathed in expensive perfume and cigarette smoke. --Christina Roden
