Holiday greetings

by Bon on December 7, 2010

We are writing to share some special holiday glee with our friends.

First off, we have a few limited-edition red vinyl copies left of Eux Autres’ Another Christmas at Home 7″ for sale in our store. The A side is their original Christmas song, “Another Christmas at Home.” The B side contains two covers: Slade’s masterpiece “Merry Xmas Everybody” and the Jacobites’ “Teenage Christmas.” The CD version of this album is out of print, but digital copies are available at Bandcamp, or any of your favorite digital music retailers.

Our staff of Christmas elves are standing by to ship your record immediately. Act now, or we’ll have to downsize!

Secondly, Eux Autres’ version of “Teenage Christmas” is featured on Christmastime Approximately, released by England’s Where It’s At is Where You Are Records. It’s a great compilation chock-full of 20 poptastic tracks. There are a limited number of FREE downloads of the entire compilation, or you can order the CD version.

We hope your holidays are going swimmingly, wherever you are.

Thanks as always for listening. Without you, we’d be sad little melted snowballs in the gutter.

Eux Autres “Go Dancing” video

by Bon on December 1, 2010

Eux Autres’ third album, Broken Bow, hit stores last week, and now we’ve got a new video for their song, “Go Dancing.” It’s a lovely little homage to a classic Replacements video.

Here’s some of what the press have been saying about Broken Bow:

“Four stars. Broken Bow, while hardly shoegaze, has the same kind of like-minded connection to the form that bands like Velocity Girl and Black Tambourine had to Ride or Slowdive way back when. The feeling is a classic combination of familiarity and, almost, audacity at going for the engagingly simple. If Broken Bow is low-key and pleasant rather than immediate and monumental (or aiming to be), it’s exactly what the now well established band wants to do in the first place.” –AllMusic

“They are doing what Best Coast are, just with more substance in their songwriting. The vocals sound like they are from an earlier time period, and the instrumentation gives feelings of a chilled out session on a lazy summer afternoon. These are some pitch perfect guitars for a hazy afternoon. Where the hell has this band been all my life?” –We All Want Something to Shout For

“A bold, brassy, melancholy, but ultimately triumphant album. They’ll improve your day in spades.” –A Layer of Chips

“An irresistible set of bouncy indie-pop tinged with surf music and ‘60s girl groups, featuring churning surf guitars, alternating male/female lead vocals, occasional piano and sunny melodies contrasted with the band’s often-biting lyrics.” –KEXP.org

“[Broken Bow] adds the occasional fuzzed out guitar to the band’s typically concise, expertly crafted pop songwriting…Eux Autres is best when it braces it’s most innocently tuneful, as in the stripped down “A Band Undone” or the harmonious bouncy “Wind Me Up.” –Under The Radar

“Light and lithe and lovely – trade-off boy-girl vocals, light guitar jangle and light, airy melodies. It’s springtime indie pop arriving in the heart of the autumn. Highly recommended.” –17 Dots

“Absolutely outstanding peppy downer pop. Shonen Knife with all the happy-happy-joy-joy scraped off. This third album from Eux Autres offers more than enough proof of mastery. Yeah, a lot of these songs are downers. And they’ll make you feel so damned good. Genius.” –A&A (aidabet.com)

“Stripped-down indie pop with a French twist. Poignant and stunning. Fun, always; but the lyrics speak something a little different from what you might be used to. That, above almost anything else, is what makes Eux Autres one of the better pop bands around.” –Fensepost

Outrageously catchy, slightly raw. [Broken Bow is]one that fans of indie pop shouldn’t miss. –The Bay Bridged

“[Broken Bow]is full of hits that go between a bit of angular pop and downright blistering ditties.” –Austin Town Hall

“They have a Pacific North-West sound, loose, full of space and casual brilliance…They are quite adept at making the complex seem simple. Yes there have been countless shoestring Spectors but Eux Autres though make a better case than most.  It is time for us all to become one of them others.” –AmericanaUK

“A classic mix of garage and pop, with husky female vocals and biting guitars.” –Roxy Blog

“Eux Autres’ third album, Broken Bow, is fantastique. The lo-fi sound is uncontrived and refreshing. The focus is instead on excellent songwriting, and there’s no reason to jazz up these tunes with flashy production. Producer Jason Quever’s live-sounding mix gets it just right.” –Campus Circle
