Santa Cruz is a band from Rennes, yet listening to their album Microrgan and its blues melodies, you'd think they were a band straight out of distant American lands, hats on heads and guitars in their pockets. An exceptional album that builds landscapes full of sensitivity, letting themselves indulge in melancholy without guilt. Yes, it's beautiful, yes, it feels good. Their rather contradictory world (Happy & safe, Sad & lonely) leaves a wide-open door for wandering along the blues roads. Of note is a very astonishing cover of You Know I'm Not Good, which leaves you speechless, and in a good way, thank you.
