Supersweet.org - Single Review: Je Suis Animal – 'The Mystery of Marie Roget'

Unwilling to conform to the traditional styling of the single-single-album release format, Norway's Je Suis are an altogether ambiguous breed. Following the critical acclaim of their debut album 'Self Taught Magic From a Book', Je Suis Animal return with their debut single “The Mystery of Marie Roget”.


Sweeping with an insouciant elegance, “The Mystery...”'s verve sails beautifully upon the cusp of pop lucidity, washing over psychedelic shores with the ebb and flow of Stereolab, The Concretes and The Velvet Underground circa Nico, only to smooth out the most beauteous of melodic pop pearls with a certain Euro-kitsch. A simply pleasurable release with a Scandinavian twist of bliss.
