GLISSADE TRANQUILLE (vinyl)

Description

"Chill and sunny indie pop, airy rock and short showers – this album features echoes of a crazy Mac DeMarco partying with Tame Impala, The Walkmen surfing alongside Grizzly Bear, or even further back, The Smiths and the twee pop of the Postcard label. Axel, Clovis, Gwen, and Victor offer us 8 remarkably effective tracks, from the timeless formula (guitar, bass, drums) to an acoustic turn, catchy melodies tinkered on a flea-market synth, a voice singing full-throttle about girls, endless parties, crushes, and heartbreaks. Like its album cover, "Glissade Tranquille" is about friendship – the kind that lasts for years without fading, the kind that's genuine, the kind that's complex and wild, simple and touching, just like The Slow Sliders' music. Four kids break free from their Brest base and make waves in the French indie rock scene." – Les Inrocks. "Melancholy pop, the fruit of boundless imagination, a hint of irony, and authentic tenderness, between distress and passion." – Indie Music
