Rose Mercie / Rose Mercie

This came out in 2018 and was actually recorded further back than that. They are a French quartet whose publically-professed points of reference, the Shangri-Las, Raincoats, Rosa Yemen,  Electrelane & Josephine Foster, draw out a pretty neat pentagon of turf for what they do best: a kind of rattly, roomy, rural folk-pop with unstable joints and affecting, unobvious vocal lines and harmonies. Lots of charm.
