Ah, the neverending charm of the French. We've been obsessed for years now, and this debut single from The Limiñanas has the power to unite warring nations and to seduce the innocent, all in one luxurious punch. With grandiose production and simple, melodic hooks that would make Phil Spector blush in his jail uniform, The Limiñanas have that special something that embeds their harmonious arrival quickly into your brain, sending a sinister vibe through the original ye-ye formula and coming out with remarkable results. They cleverly avoid the typical trappings of the pedestrian revivalists and break through here with two incredible, haunting, and inspirationally grim sides that meld a heavy VU-drenched backbone to lurid pop splashes, that result in these timeless recordings you will no doubt cherish. ...show more

Ah, the neverending charm of the French. We've been obsessed for years now, and this debut single from The Limiñanas has the power to unite warring nations and to seduce the innocent, all in one luxurious punch. With grandiose production and simple, melodic hooks that would make Phil Spector blush in his jail uniform, The Limiñanas have that special something that embeds their harmonious arrival quickly into your brain, sending a sinister vibe through the original ye-ye formula and coming out with remarkable results. They cleverly avoid the typical trappings of the pedestrian revivalists and break through here with two incredible, haunting, and inspirationally grim sides that meld a heavy VU-drenched backbone to lurid pop splashes, that result in these timeless recordings you will no doubt cherish.

Epic hooks like these combined with bashful female vocals dancing menacingly around the macabre, all done with that irreplaceable accent and performed in the raw like this are hard to come by, so dive into the swirling pop daydream conjured here by The Limiñanas, and you'll find it hard to remember what life was like before it seductively invaded your world. Chicago Independent Distribution - Trouble in Mind is pleased as punch to be releasing the debut release from French-pop group The Limiñanas! Hailing from Perpignan, France (hometown of Trouble In Mind alums Sonic Chicken 4!), The Limiñanas serve up a modern-day update on classic French Ye-Ye sounds! "Je ne suis pas tres drogue" is a hypnotic dance number with spoken word passages that conjures up a sweat-soaked go-go dance floor circa 1967, while "Berceuse pour Clive" is a gentle reverb-drenched lullaby. We like to think if Serge Gainsbourg were alive today - he'd be making music like THIS! The first edition of this single is pressed on randomly mixed-colored vinyl, comes with a download code & is housed in the Trouble In Mind factory sleeve! Inch Allah Rrecords - The Limiñanas sont Perpignanais et font de la musique qui aurait pu apparaitre sur les compilations Wizzz. Une sorte de pop totalement barrée, aux allures psyché parfaitement assumées, une chanteuse/conteuse monotone a la voix névrosé, le tout ne faisant a la fin plus qu'un.

On plonge volontiers dans les Limiñanas comme dans un bain d'acide lysergique. Et si vous en voulez plus, Hozac et Trouble In Mind ont de quoi vous satisfaire. Et en cadeau, une recette de boulette par les Limiñanas Migas 2000 (demo) Ravensingstheblues.blogspot.com - The Limiñanas - I'm Dead 7" The A-Side's full of disaffected charm, pounding out the huge shake and jangle of 60's pop with a big sound ala our boy Phil Spector. The hint of French accent hanging on the English vocals only makes their morbid message all the more laced with sugar sweet aloofness (can aloof be sweet? It is here). ...show less
