December 27th, 2007 by Dave Allen
A band by way of London, Paris and Berlin on paper sounds so Euro-faux and pretentious but in the case of Appaloosa, whose singer Anne Laure sounds like an updated Nico, that statement is not true. Joined by song writing partner Max Krefeld they offer up a mixture of retro Euro-pop, dance music and on the cut I posted here, alt-indie electro Americana. Apparently Cat Power has taken to them along with the folks over at the Gorilla Vs Bear and The Walrus music blogs. Me too, I’d love to hear more than the tracks that they posted at their MySpace site.
