From their first moment of impact, the clash of decades duking it out within the confines of
Neïmos music is blatantly obvious. With pulsating synths, dance floor drum beats, flashy guitar showmanship, and
Bruno Dallesandros rebel rousing vocals all exploding at once, the band coat an affinity for early 00s nitty, gritty guitar rock with a sleek 80s/90s disco glam not entirely surprising to hear from four fashionable Frenchmen. While Neïmo released
From Scratch to critical acclaim in their home country all the way back in early 2005, the bands latest five song collection serves as a sneak peak of what most Americans have probably been missing out on these last few years: Bouts of bodacious rock lead by a front man not entirely afraid of sounding semi-arrogant at times. Whether panting for his very own Hot Girl or tempting time with an ever-confident sense of invincibility (The Hourglass), Brunos got bravado.
Having just wound up a recent string of dates in NYC, and with a new album on the way, Neïmo are certainly a band worth getting acquainted with. I had a chance to trade emails with Dallesandro earlier this month.
