Fabienne DelSol - On My Mind '2010

Tracks list

       Fabienne Delsol’s third album On My Mind provides much the same
pay-off as her first two solo albums and her work as bassist and singer in the
Bristols. That is to say, if you like albums that combines beat-group snappy
songs with moody French atmospheres, you’re in luck. Delsol sings like
she’s an old pal of Françoise Hardy, the album was recorded in Liam
Watson’s Toerag time machine studio (with the dial stuck between 1964 and
1965) and the songs as written (mostly) by her bassist/guitarist Thomas Gardener
are ringers for tracks on a really good Beat, Freakbeat, or British Psych comp.
It’s a formula that could sound tired if not done perfectly; Delsol and
her crew do it perfectly. The mix of uptempo rockers, dreamy ballads, and gently
psychedelic songs is just right; Delsol can sing each style like it was second
nature. The musicians play their parts just right too, never doing anything
flashy but instead hanging back and giving Delsol's voice the full spotlight.
While many have tried to channel this era and this sound, few have done it with
the style and grace of Delsol. You can’t go wrong with any recording
she’s done, but On My Mind may just be the best thing she’s done
so far.
