Eux Autres exude that innocent and fun college rock energy and create music that is genuine and instantly compelling. Reverbed-out guitars, claps, and call-and-response vocals between brother/sister duo Heather and Nicholas Larimer make for great lo-fi indie rock.
Eux Autres, the Omaha-born, Portland-based duo, channels sixties French pop and gives it a unique sensibility. The stylish brother/sister duo, Heather and Nicholas Larimer, share lead vocals with Heather on drums and Nicholas on guitar.
The Larimers' music favors melody, with compelling vocals in call and response. These vocal textures are underscored by lyrics that manage to be clever without being precious, treating subjects that range from Spanish imperialism to romantic angst, French politics to soccer.
Eux Autres' debut LP, Hell Is Eux Autres, recorded by Jeff Stuart Saltzman and Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney/Quasi), is now available.
