Oui, oui.
Bucket | LONDON | 06/20/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Having always been cynical about the supposed Anglo-American superiority in popular music, it's always good to find yet another example justifying my view. What's amusing here is that Olivia Ruiz came to fame via the French equivalent of an X-factor or Fame Academy / find-a-pop-star-in-the-supermarket type 'talent' show. While the winners of the UK/US shows usually find themselves back stacking shelves after a solitary hit, Ruiz is now three albums into a respected art-rock catalogue of challenging, diverse, risk-taking songs.

60s French pop fans will love the cool chord sequences and orchestrations but this is no retro rehash exercise; garage grungy guitars, batty Tom Waits or Bjork percussion and Ruiz's defiantly modern vocal delivery, occupying an anarchic almost punk-torch sonic landscape, present the music firmly in and ahead of its time.

Nothing wrong with stacking supermarket shelves but you won't find Olivia Ruiz doing it anytime soon."
