There are many things wrong with the world today, but from books to music, there is a lot more attention to things from beyond the anglophone world than 20 years ago and that is a good thing. It has led to garage indie punk quartet Alvilda – four women from Paris who sing in French – do a US Tour this year. Which is awesome, for not only does Alvilda play really catchy tunes, French with its many é and u sounds, works really well for this kind of music. But then, we kind of knew that ever since Plastic Bertrand.
