 ''The sounds emanating from those 8 hands were magical. There are hints of African High Life, Guiro-led percussion, an organ playing arabib sounds that I couldn't quite place and a fabulously swinging latin rhythm section'' Simon Landin - Home Spun Show Read the review here  '''Orchestre du Mont Plaisant are one of the strangest band we've heard in a long time, sounding like the soundtrack of some undergroung 60's art flick where the protagonist wanders around Paris chased by strangely attired Russian Spies'' Spoonfed  ''Orchestre du Mont-Plaisant are an imaginary super group. Unless you catch them in hi-fidelity “London Easters” real life you’d reckon to be listening to 2 fifths The Doors (sleezy organ and stomp bass) one 5th Hank Marvin, and one splendidly gelling 5th of cajun (ish) accordian. The fifth fifth sets all in head bopping motion with perfectly uncomplicated yet striking chops. An uplifting gem of coalescent enterprise'' 113 Dalston Lane Fom Dofe - 2015 Ina - 2010 |
