French Miami

If you haven't heard French Miami yet, enjoy your last few minutes of peace. Once their songs get inside your head, they start a permanent loop and you will wake up and go to bed singing along. The only way out of this musical addiction is sleep deprivation.

The first pressing of this mind-bending album saw daylight on a start-up label with a modest PR effort. Even with this minimalist approach to the press, French Miami still attracted considerable attention from UK tastemakers NME and the BBC, a stateside nod from Rolling Stone, and a lengthy three-month hold on the CMJ Top-Fifty in late 2008. Originally put to tape by Phil Manley (Trans Am, Fucking Champs), French Miami has been remastered for release on Take Root Records.
