crafts dreamy, glistening pop that’s as enchanting as it is effortless. Their twist on 1960’s French pop is an ode to twee and indie pop as much as it is to Johnny Marr. Imagine François Hardy waltzing through a dew-soaked meadow with The Cardigans buzzing on the radio.
le pain
Le Pain took root during a Brooklyn jam session when Madeline and Scott discovered just how naturally they produced Serge Gainsbourg-esque chansons. Madeline brought in her sister Olivia for her voice and Scott brought in Alan for bass and thus, Le Pain was born.

The album opens with “Troisième Groupe,” setting the tone with velvety vocals, opalescent guitar lines, and a soft, steady pulse that draws listeners into an iridescent dreamworld. English and French lyrics entwine, casting a gentle spell. Songs shift between airy daydreams and moments of ecstatic distortion. Lead single “Running of the Bulls” captures this arc perfectly, blooming from bright crystalline bliss into wild, fuzzy chaos. The journey closes with “Rachel Veut Danser,” a disco-laced, retro swirl that spins like a glittering mirrorball at the edge of a fever dream.
Available on 12” vinyl and cassette
