Today's Featured Band -- French Films
Today's featured band is Helsinki, Finland's French Films, a five piece indie rock band that is just now appearing on radar screens in the United States. Their first single, "Golden Sea," from their 4 track EP of the same name, is fun, sunny and nothing you'd expect from a band that hails from Finland, a country known more for salted herring and Formula One World Champions than indie rock bands. Take a listen and tell me what you think.
Golden Sea is out now on Gaea Finland from Juno and Finnish online record shop Record Shop X on 12" vinyl (yes, you will need a turntable so go ask your parents' for theirs if you don't have one). Sorry, not available from US iTunes or Amazon for download yet.
Love this song. Just made it my Swell Tune of the day:
