DECHE DANS FACE- 'S/T' 10"
DECHE DANS FACE- 'S/T' 10". Who is Deche Dan? Why is there a band named after his face? I don't know. I do know this French two-piece has been kicking since 1995 or so, and actually released an LP and a few singles years ago. I have never heard them mentioned by anyone outside of a couple Frenchmen, and I have never heard or seen any of their records until this point. What do they sound like? On this 10" you get six tracks that were recorded in 2000, in some girl's living room somewhere in Bordeaux. And it has that homey kind of feel to it, with a nice big and blown-out, live recording sound. If I was in that living room I am sure I would have loved it. The drumming's adept, and you get a lot of guitar sounds thrown out at you, including some lap steel. The A-Side rocks well. The B-Side has one rocker, one slow jam, and ends with a soundtrack-y mood piece. If you've heard about this band and can't seem to track any of their records down, this would be a good place to start. As their other records are way harder to find.
