French Horn Rebellion
The Infinite Music Of French Horn Rebellion
(Once Upon A Time)

Those who have travelled to Gaul on vacation will be aware that the horn is the least rebellious part of the Frenchman. In fact, were all Frenchmen to behave solely according to their more intimate anatomy, the nation wouldn’t revolt half as much.
For this reason French Horn Rebellion are either a) ironic or b) flawed.
We need jovial electro bands about as much as we need inept hipsters. Were a Venn diagram to be drawn with these two illustrious groups we would certainly see the former eclipse the later. Yet we shouldn’t view the creativity of these vaguely talented kids as insider art, despite their main preoccupation being a striving to become ‘insiders’. Rather, the beguiling bubble within which they inhabit is more akin to outsider art, seeing that they live outside of any justifiable reality.
For all their decidedly pretentious attempts at making vaguely experimental music within the confines of their strict programmed dance music, there are many great sounds. Yet the commanding guitar riffs can’t quite disguise their basic future; playing hipster electropop to students and bloggers in the vague hope that someone better will remix them into acceptability.
