French Films
Nice surprise in my inbox today from Finland’sFrench Films. They’re aa five-piece attempting to make sunny music from what they call a cold cold place. Reminding me of other summer favorites like The Drums, their song below in ‘Golden Sea’ shines.
Look for the bands first official release through GAEA Records.
Video: “Meet Me In The Basement” by Broken Social Scene
This video was made as a response to the G20 Summit in Toronto June, 2010.
The rest speaks for itself.
It was sent to us by a lover of our music who wants to remain anonymous.
We are very proud to share this mash-up with you.
