CMU Approved
Approved: Paris Suit Yourself
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 15 September 2010
Paris Suit Yourself are being hailed as the first rock band to sign to Ninja Tune’s hip hop imprint Big Dada, news that will confuse the hell out of you if your first experience of them is their debut single ‘Craig Machinsky’, which is due for release on 11 Oct. Driven by staccato piano, with accusatory vocals delivered in a heavy French accent, the word that springs to mind is not ‘rock’. Actually, if you can form any words other than ‘wow’ during that first listen, you’re not paying proper attention.
A quick search of YouTube throws up enough live videos to show that they are most definitely a rock band, though. But one which absolutely fits in with the ethos, if not the genre, of Big Dada. They have a very clear identity, they sit very much on the other side of the room from their contemporaries, and they have something different to say. Paris Suit Yourself’s debut album, ‘My Main Shitstain’, is scheduled for release early next year, and ‘Craig Machinsky’ is up on the band’s MySpace page now.
