Watoo Watoo - le tourbillon EP (Dufflecoat CD single)

French pop group Watoo Watoo's EP on Dufflecoat Records channels some of the purest spirits of C86 twee pop you will ever find and also some intriguing pop sounds to produce a sweet and exciting EP.

"Whirlpool of pride" drives along at a good pace and hits all the right cute female vocal and jangly guitar moves to become a modern classic, originally written as an ode to Lawrence from Felt one of whose songs is also covered on this EP. "L'amour en fuite" is very different, mysterious and atmospheric and also very French.

"Ce qu'il va en rester" is wonderful, a mesmeric acoustic melody straight out of the pop classic soundtrack. Its a truly glorious pop journey, probably the best song on the EP. "Jenifer Juniper" has a slight retro-electronic feel and bags of atmosphere. Felt cover "Tuesday's secret" is a swift jangly pop rush and finally "Tombe pour la France" has plenty of retro electronic quirkiness.

This EP is a great record with bags of style, charm, pop magic and va va voom.
