About: Despite taking its own sweet time before finally making it to record shelves, The New Government’s first album lives up to its expectations, and then some. The line-up of Jérémie (vocals & synth), Zeid (guitars & vocals), Cherif (bass) and Nabil (drums) is augmented by Timothée on guitars, on this brilliantly eclectic collection of 10 songs. Flashes of British Sixties psychedelia (Kinks, Small Faces, early The Who) abound, interspersed with modern flourishes and the group’s energetic “stop-start” trademark.
