Frantic City is hyperactive French label from the rebellious La Rochelle. It has released Froth‘s debut album months before that it will be released in America by Burger and Lolipop Records.

Just because I’ve got this album from France when I listened to it first times I thought Froth is an anglomaniac French band.But not. They’re from California. Their music is British style psychedelic indie rock from Jesus & Mary Chain to Oasis and forth. I’m sick of this style, but if you not, I’m sure this album will be nice for you

Split cassette with eccentric singer/songwriter Kim House’s band, Kim & The Created: demented garage rock’n’roll goth punk; and Prettiest Eyes, just drums, bass and keys: mechanical, monotone, flustered, nervous krautrock. Guest star: AJ Davila.

There is in the press kit that musically S’s is highly influenced by Pixies, Cabaret Voltaire, The Normal, Kraftwerk, and takes inspiration from bleak sci-fi films such as Eraserhead (David Lynch, 1977), THX 1138 (George Lucas, 1971), Brazil (Terry Gilliam, 1985), Blade Runner (Ridely Scott, 1982). But forget the Pixies! It’s mistake, this is pretty hard electro-noise, maybe he has intended to write Pigface. Xiu Xiu is also comparable to him. The most relevant parallel act is Foetus (most important alter-ego of J. G. Thirlwell, aka Clint Ruin).

Exploded View of Love is a concept album, about indifference of selfie, corporate and online social lifeforms, a dystopia about the world of Homo Leviculus.
