Hand Clap Girl
(Rococo) 7-inch $5.25 (Out-of-stock)
A one-man band (since 2003) who sings, plays guitar, kick drum, drum machine and keyboard (with his foot). He’s French and is, of course, here to croon beautiful songs of love with shit and blood on his hands. One Note + One Rhythm + One Word = One Song. Teenage punk frustration. No girl, alcohol, free porn sites, white chocolate. Semen runs in his veins. Red vinyl, limited to 300 copies (as some sort of tribute to Michael Jordan and/or Kurt Cobain that only the French understand).
OK Judge Revival
(Kill Shaman) Used LP $3.00
A blues-wrangling nightmare — slide guitar riffs over drum machines, synths and a tight rhythm section. Driving grooves with a wild blues edge, all followed up with that magical French synthesis.
