Does the language in which a song is sung matter? As someone who tends to focus on the vocals, I am tempted to say ‘yes’ and so most French pop sounds… mostly French to me. The first reference that comes to mind when I listen to Feutre (a three-piece from Bordeaux who just released their second album; there is a Watoo Watoo link for who remembers them) is fellow French band Autour de Lucie: the same kind of dreamy synth-driven (indie)pop with prominent vocals. But does it matter if Feutre just makes really nice music? No, of course not.
