With gypsy-jazz guitars as the main instrument and lyrics reminiscent of the great George Brassens, Espadrilles brings the listener back to an era when life was simpler, food healthier, and sex way better. From the swinging ‘Le Centipede’ to the tender ‘Tes Yeux Bleus’, the songs lift you away from today’s processed music back into the European swing music of the 1950s, but with just enough of today’s sensibility to make you wish that you’d know about this cd much earlier.
