What a great way to kickstart the New Year by immersing oneself in some French indiepop courtesy of Lyon band My Raining Stars. I knew we’d be comfortable bedfellows when I read the bands list of favourite records from the 1990’s and their jangly output distils the best bits from many of them. There is a C86 aesthetic at work and perfect little tunes like ‘Head Over Heals’ are just made for tidal waves of blog love. Harmonies pervade its every pore and the winsome chiming chords provide the loveliest of backdrops. Quite incomprehensibly My Raining Stars remain unsigned but I predict that this may be just a temporary situation. KD
