| 3.7 great | Erwann S. STAFF | January 27th 22 |
Cute lil Belgian indie pop record with a dancey vibe and sometimes a taste for a lil bit of abrasion ("Hunger at the Door"), but always with that quirky attitude that allows for some exposure but not too much - they are only big in Benelux. Immaculate production, gud songwriting chops, but a bit too subdued maybe?

I found them by chance, and before I knew it, it slowly grew upon me. They are pretty promising, I expect good things to come.

The start of a new decade in music hasn't seen too many good albums in indie pop - save Contra or Teen Dream, perhaps - but Applause, on the other hand, is indie pop excellence with a unique swagger: think Spoon having a baby with Is This It-era The Strokes, for a good idea. These Belgians are strikingly smooth in their delivery, cool in the sounds of their instruments, and completely lovable in their overall sound. Shame this album's excellence went largely untold last year, though, because it was one of 2010's best.
