So, You Wanna Be In The Movies
Not to be confused with M.I.A., MAI is Swedish born Johanna Wedin working with The Teenagers’ Dorian Dumont and Bang Gang’s Bardi Johannson. Based in Paris where they met, The Teenagers’ Dorian Dumont and Bang Gang’s Bardi Johannson. Based in Paris where they met, Les Inrockuptibles picked them out as one of France’s best unsigned bands when they put one of their songs on their 2005 compilation, and last year little Parisian label Nacopajaz put out a little 7″, followed by the France-only release of their debut album ‘Still Need A Kiss’. The stock comparisons seem to be Mazzy Star and Sparklehorse which I can kind of sort of see as it’s got that shimmery pop thing down to a T and I suppose it’s not bad company to be in.
Despite a now supposed world-wide release, it was only by having a mooch around the rather splendid Swedish-based Dot Shop (My New Favourite On-Line Record Shop ™) that I found this so they’re officially my new favourite Swedes.
I’ve posted ‘Like In A Film’ because it’s my favourite song on the album and yes, it’s yet more music for us bed-wetters!
