Les Fauves – Funeral Party
Les Fauves
These Italian “wild beasts” don’t, on the strength of this single, have a sound that lives up to their name’s connotations. Instead Les Fauves come across like a poppier version of The Dandy Warhols on what is essentially a rather twee and wonky, even drunken, sounding affair.
It brings nothing new to the table in terms of sound or style and is frankly a weak choice of single to try and gain them a toehold in the UK market. Similar sounding homegrown and US bands are ten-a-penny on the airwaves just now so whoever had the bright idea that this track would stand head and shoulders above the plethora of its like already occupying radio space is in need of a holiday at the very least.
As often seems to be the case these days though they do have better songs on their MySpace page, particularly the snappily titled ‘How Our Dildo Can Change Your Life’. Maybe all is not lost for them if they can produce more along those lines.
