Fresh and local: Les Chaussettes, Who will read your mind

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      On its reverb-rippled surface, Les Chaussettes’ sound straddles the line between C86 twee pop and Nuggets-era garage rock.

      A closer listen reveals that there are some serious craft and attention to detail behind it.

      Those details include the buzz-bomb bass and acid-freakout guitar solo on “Triple Water”, the surf-and-turf twang of “B-Side Baby”, the girl-group harmonies of “Russian Boy”, and the “96 Tears” organ swirl of “Bunky”.

      The little things add up to one big sound, and lend the impression that Les Chaussettes possess one hell of a record collection.
