Fleur – S/T – New LP

If you dig Euro garage pop from the 1960s, there's a huge chance you will love this.  This recent recording features plenty of 1960s garage-rock sounds, but everything focuses on propelling the pop songs.  This sounds like songs from a Scopitone machine.  Completely lovable.  -- winch

Fleur project was born some time ago when Arjan Spies and Dave Von Raven (The Kik) were recording some tracks for their instro-rock combo Les Robots and they realized they had some music that deserved to be played along a beautiful voice, that's when they contacted Dutch singer and musician Floor Elman aka “Fleur” and magic was created!

Two fast sold-out 7”s served as tasters for this, her much anticipated debut album, a record predestined to spread Fleur-mania all over the world with its original, exciting and mesmerizing mix of French ye-yé, sixties beat shakers and easy-listening delights. A unique universe where France Gall, Joe Meek, Serge Gainsbourg, Jackie DeShannon and Françoise Hardy get together.


*******************************************

Este proyecto nació hace un tiempo cuando Arjan Spies y Dave Von Raven (The Kik) estaban grabando algunos temas para su combo de instro-rock Les Robots y se dieron cuenta de que tenían algunas melodías que merecían ser acompañadas por una bella voz, es ahí cuando contactaron con la cantante y músico holandesa Floor Elman, Fleur, y ¡se hizo la magia!
Dos singles agotados en tiempo record sirvieron de aperitivo para este esperado primer álbum, un disco predestinado a extender la Fleur-mania por todos los rincones del mundo con su excitante e hipnótica recuperación de sonidos del yeyé francés, el beat, el easy-listening e incluso la bossa nova. Fleur crea un universo en el que cohabitan France Gall, Joe Meek, Serge Gainsbourg, Jackie DeShannon, Astrud Gilberto, The Kinks y Françoise Hardy ¿aún no conoces a Fleur?
