louise new album - just for us fans.louise attaque new album : a plus tard crocodile is the best album they ever made. not for sale on amazon.com for the moment, what a pity! listen to extracts on amazon.fr and enjoy!!
Listen while you work - This album has everything, great mixture of tracks, moods to suitevery part of the day particularly the exquisite La Plume and the haunting Du nord au sud and of course the title track. Get it! It will help with those long, tedious days at work or wash away the winter rain
Samples - This music is great! You can listen to samples of every track to this album by copying the title above, clicking the link to Amazon.Fr below, selecting the music section and pasting the title in. Once you get to the album page, enjoy what you hear when you click the links. I usually get quick downloads from Amazon in France. Just a helpful hint for the vaguely curious....
C est Magnifique!! Truely Cool!!! - This was the first Louise Attaque album I ever got, so maybe I didn t have the exposure to their first album that I see made alot of other reviewers here a little dissappointed. But I think this album is awesome, a few songs in particular, tracks 6 and 7 and 10 I play incessently.. I ve gotten the first album, Louise Attaque recently, and I think the only main difference between the 2 CD s is that Comme on a Dit has more sad songs on it, while the first one is much more into this light, prancy kind of tone. Maybe I can identify with Comme on a Dit more because of it s meloncholy, it seems more sincere and deep and maybe even more mature to me. Keep in mind that I can only understand maybe 10% of what the lyrics say, but believe me you get the point when you just listen to the words as part of the music. [This band makes me want to learn French better :) I really want to know who that cartoon girl is on their covers..] Anyways, this is still my favorite CD out of my entire CD collection to date, with Louise Attaque coming in second or third, and this band has become one of my favorite bands, just for this CD. Keep an ear out for their violin player, this band s violin sings just as well and with just as much emotion as their lead singer, and will get the point across if the French doesn t :)
A MUST HAVE/IL FAUT L AVOIR - When I was in Québec this past summer, there was this one song that kept haunting me. La Plume. However then, I didn t know its title nor the name of its songwriter(s). I find myself in France a month or two later for the semester and then I hear *my song* again. I learn the name of the group. Louise attaque (in English, Louise attacks). What an odd odd name...Who s Louise? I think to myself. The answer to the aforesaid question is irrelevant. With each new listening of it, I appreciate it more and more. But even without understanding the French lyrics, there is no way you can disregard the power of the violin. It s strident, aggressive, lulling, decisive. I can t believe this is their second album. I ve got to hear their first.
