The ratio of citizens to electronica groups in France has to be close to 2:1, with artists like M83, Vitalic, Daft Punk and Air providing a steady stream of synth-driven Gallic brilliance to America’s largely guitar based indie scene.  Well, the French have done it again, but this time with a twist.  Add a charismatic female lead singer (causing your promotional pictures to look scarily like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), a little guitar, and you have some of the best dance-punk to hit these shores in ages.

A sort of best-of taking songs from their first two albums, it’s fun, fast, and the language barrier proves to be no problem at all - the songs are just as catchy even if you don’t know French.  “Danse Sur la Merde” is a loud, brash, riotous song whether or not you know that the chorus you’re mangling actually means “dance to the shit on the radio“, same with the fuzzy and bouncy “Je ne Te Connais Pas”.  After a while it starts to sound same-y, but there’s still a critical mass of excellent songs here.  7.5/10
