Les Lesbiennes – Giorni Felici


Les Lesbiennes – Giorni Felici
Self released – 2014
Rock, Punk, Stoner, Garage
Rated: ***
 
On their self-titled debut the Italian duo Les Lebiennes implored a tiny pinch of hefty eighties or dark new wave influences but on their sophomore effort Giorni Felici they stay more on the course of alternative minded rock that borrows heavy from punk, stoner and garage. The best thing however about Les Lesbiennes is the fact that they stay true to their very own attitude. A very own sort of defiant stance and one could see them shrugging everything off and walking down the street with a day old cigar stump in the corner of their mouth. Grimy looking and borderline vagrant. And then there is this secret artistic side. Which has them enjoying every day in a weak sort of assumption that it will be there last. No absolute wild times and damn the consequence; but a sort of ‘it doesn’t matter what we do, so we’d better enjoy it on some level’ take on the end. And that sort of sunny doom and gloom is exactly what we want on these strange and weird winter days…

Les Lesbiennes – Les Lesbiennes

Bella Zio! There was a small tingle in my body when I noticed something named Les Lesbiennes had entered my inbox. Somewhere in the back of my mind the image of beautiful and preferably naked women playing guitar started to flare up. And ofcourse there was that initial sadness when it turned out that Les Lesbiennes is a duo of guys hailing from Marceddi, Sardinia, Italy. Though as soon as their first tones graced my ear that grief dissipated and my heart started racing once again. No less than sixteen songs of pure unadulterated rock; entwined with some atmospheric stoner, hefty garage and something reminiscent of popular eighties music and new wave are featured on their self-titled album. It’s an amazing trip and very addictive and on most of the moments; absolute world class. Genuine and with a very own distinct vibe. Les Lesbiennes; in a league of their own!
