Les Grandes Marées
(2011, Purepainsugar Records) France.
12XU is a french punk band, with french lyrics, and it seems they’ve exported their music in US and Japan ! Congratulations !
I love a lot this kind of emo-punk music, à la The Vicious.
I love how their LP sound on my turntable eventhough the sound of the mp3’s on their page is different and weird.
12XU’s power is the quality of their guitar’s riffs, like in Les Grandes Marées or Paysages Ecartés Des Plans.
I love the energy in Des Rues Mouillées.
The choirs in Figaro Magazine are well-done and I love the chorus in Transparent which remains in mind.
The artwork is really beautiful !
A good album !
