  Think: Cockney Rebel meets Pearl Jam, in French October 23, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I came to Louise Attaque via some tracks from Gaetan Roussel's side project Tarmac, via the compilation album "so Frenchy, So Chic". Electric fiddle features prominently, and there are folk-rock, and occasionaly C&W, overtones, but not in a twee way. The sounds are strong, clear and rocky. The ballads are powerful and well crafted. The orhcestration is sophisticated and although there is a 'sound' that is Louise Attaque, nothing feels repetitive. Think Cockney Rebel, think Waterboys (both early and late), think Pearl Jam, mix them together and you'll come close to the Lousie Attaque sound on Comme on a Dit. Excellent album. Also, check out the official Tarmac website where you can listen to about 6 of their tracks in full, including two video clips. Tarmac of course is not the same as Lousie Attaque, but Gaetan Roussel is prominent in both groups, so you'll get the idea.

Voilins and a warm, nice voice that makes you want to listen to more songs. My favourite song are Sans Filet, Tu Dis Rien, and Comme On A Dit. It is the latter that catches your ears and you will find yourself repeating the violin melody in your head. Great album, just listen to it and most probably you will like it too.
