My experience living in France was, at best, mixed, but I do really like the language, which seems made for romantic pop songs. Doggy, from the central French town of Limoges, describes itself as a “un groupe d’indiejanglepop” and though influenced by British and American indiepop, thankfully resisted singing in English. I particularly like this Pristine Creusée, with its keyboards and trumpets, but all of their new Un jour parfait album makes for some really pleasant listening. Oh, it is a love song about a garden pool, but in French you can get away with that sort of thing.
