#1400 VA - Noise in France

In my quest to find the next hotbed of good scuzzy rock I found a cache in France of all places. It makes a strange kind of sense: if I was stuck in France I'd want to make riotous racket against banality too.

This - this is a spectacular compilation, 24 bands, plenty of guitars, a spattering of damaged synths, it's regularly nasty, occasionally pretty, relentlessly inventive. No one sound emerges exactly, just a bursting sense of newness, a pipebomb of arty angles that put fun and fuckingshitup ahead of pretension - Dananananaykroyd came to mind more than once.

Very highly recommended to noisy rock fans interested in something new 4.5/5
