Editor's review
This French duo creates everything from melancholy electronics to late-period Beatles pop songs, infusing the music with a lighthearted sense of humor. While the pair veer into experimental rhythmic lands, their songcraft and sugar-sweet melodies keep the final result grounded and irresistibly infectious.
Biography
Octet is a French pop-tronica duo. But please, good people, don't hold it against them. And while comparisons to that certain other French duo (Air) are inevitable, and, in fact, at times appropriate, they will only serve to marginalize the eclectic and impressive debut from Francois Goujon and Benjamin Morando. These two cats have created a record that is both disparate and cohesive, combining influences more far-reaching than most on the lap-pop electronica scene today.
