Conceived by members of Yucky Duster and Public Practice following a move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, Le Pain makes retro, twee-oriented pop that toes the line between Stereolab and Jane Birkin. Enlisting the help of multi-instrumentalist Scott Rosenthal and bassist Alan Everhart, family members Madeline and Olivia Babuka Black have a knack for cheffing up sunny, bilingual music that wouldn’t sound out of place in a ’60s art film. Synths and guitar chords swirl atop crashed drums on the band’s track “Is That How You Want Me to Feel?”.
Chirpy lyrics shift between French and English, complementing the track’s stylish, mid-century charm. At once sexy, alluring, is the perfect cartoonish midsummer anthem to soundtrack your next drive to the beach.
