Virot, Francois
Marginal Spots
Second solo album by this French lo-fi pop folk artist, who once got nicknamed the one person Animal Collective. A record that is as much a laid-back digest of his discography, an actualisation of his obsessions (colourful drums, catchy but devious melodies, referential tangle - Police vs. The Ex vs. Joe Dassin?), then a declaration of independence from the current indie pop laws.
