Welcome to the latest Kitsune revue show. It’s now become a habit, every few months the ace Parisian imprint is unleashing a new Maison comp. No major plan or gimmick behind them, the aim’s just to bring you a bang up-to-date selection of the hottest producers/acts in er. just about everything. There’s of course lots of electrock to cling your teeth into (Guns’n’Bombs, Riot In Belgium, Crystal Castles, The Whip, Phones, Punks Jump Up) but that’s not all. You’re after some vital indie-rock? Check contributions from Cazals, Foals, Whitey. Wanna whistle pop on the way to work? Feist, Thieves Like Us, Numero#, Dragonette, Darkel are here to fill your needs. With Hadouken! on board you even get a bit of nu-rave to pogo to. Like a legal blog (without the crap), the Maison series looks hard all around to gather the freshest talent out there (Paris, London, Berlin, NYC, LA, Myspace, rest of the universe). One tasty aural mag you simply can’t afford to miss.
