Housse De Racket - Roman

If you like Phoenix, you're gonna like Housse De Racket too. Both bands are French, and although I've only heard one song by the latter, it's very "phoenixy" with shiny synths and edgy guitars, and Pierre Leroux employs the same lilting kind of voicing as that of Phoenix singer Thomas Mars. It all sounds very 70's meets 00's, and "Roman" off their second album, 2011's Alesia, is a killer pop song. The makers of HBO series Girls think the same obvisously as it was used in season 1 of that show which is how I picked up on it.
