Editor's review
If you like synthesizers and punk rock--a great combination ever since the early days of David Byrne--Montreal's Duchess Says is for you. Had they come out during the electroclash movement back in '03, they surely would have made serious waves. More poppy punk rock than techno but taking influence from both genres, Duchess Says is one to watch.
Biography
Montreal's Duchess Says, musical spokespeople for the cryptic Quebecois arts-culture collective Church of Budgerigars, are currently not available for comment. For all we know, they could have lit up a rival church, slit its leader cold, and did their whole album on bail. What we do know is that their assaultive yet instantly accessible style of what they call 'moog-rock' (surely referring to their startling, inimitable signature synth sound) has put these native francophones squarely in the spotlight of Montreal's true new music underground, where they have been honing their sound and live shows of growing legend from day one.
