Review: Helene de Thoury and Amandine Stioui had been involved in the Parisian music scene for some time before Minuit Machine happened, but in the decade or so since they seem to have finally received the kind of props they had long deserved. As one scribe put it, they make "melancholic, sexy minimal wave. Four words that should be enough to give this band a chance." Even if that description doesn't appeal, we highly recommend getting involved here. The French duo owe as much to The Cure as they do Ladyhawke and Glass Candy, an air of electro-gothicism hanging heavily over everything they make. Synthesised operatics that are crying out for a movie soundtrack as much as a DIY venue in a dirty corner of town. Exceptional stuff.
