MENSCH (facebook/twitter) are two French girls with guitars, bass, keys, vocals and a drum machine – and catchy as fuck tunes. There’s that dark glamour that entranced Blondie’s audiences seething below song structures that are part dancefloor electronic-grooves in the vein of LCD SoundSystem, and part the bluesy atmosphere and tension of The Kills.
A little post-punk, a little new-wave, full of attitude and Gallic cool. I’m in awe. Swoon.
MENSCH’s debut album is out now on Tsunami Addiction
