Je Suis Animal/Wake The President split 7″
March 7, 2009 – 10:16 amLucky Number Nine Records first release of the year will be on April 6th and is a split 7″ from Norwegian dreampoppers Je Suis Animal and Glasgow based Wake the President. The Je Suis Animal track, ‘Fortune Map’, is taken from their excellent debut album ‘Self-Taught Magic From A Book’ (Angular Records). This is a joint release with the good folk at Electric Honey Records. Wake The President provide ‘Miss Tierney’ which is from their forthcoming début LP ‘You Can’t Change The Boy’.
The Je Suis Animal song is called ‘Fortune Map’ and it’s a lovely and light piece of pop music - that rattles, jangles and rolls along in a rollickingly good time way. The band still recall the best moments that Stereolab ever had. That’s a good thing.
Wake The President are jangle pop personified. Sounding like a long lost Postcard band. These Swedish Scots know their way around a good tune and ‘Miss Tierney’ is certainly that. Even the lyrics echo my thoughts when they sing ‘Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery’. Not that Wake The President are pure copyists. This is a great little 7″ single - with two of the better bands from the current crop in fine form.
