简介: Presents her lyrics simply and straightforwardly. While there's nothing particularly modern about Paris Combo's sound, it doesn't deliberately try to be retro, either -- it simply takes elements from across the decades, grabbing at chanson, jazz, show tunes, some of the more esoteric elements of rock, and avant-garde, and mixes them into a whole that's fresh while retaining an almost atavistic familiarity. From the playful ("Avril") to the sublime (the complex but never overwhelming "Retroviseur," which is a virtually a tour of cool European jazz styles), Paris Combo has the chops, the wit, and the charm to do it all with the kind of style that can never be taught. Attraction might be more of the same, but it's a same that never seems to get old or boring. Especially not when it's done this well.
