How should I describe the music of Gaspard LaNuit
? There are occasional elements of countrified Americana twang here and there. Smooth cohesive steady rhythms and laidback flow - except when things turn suddenly cruncha-chunky and dissonant and filtered. It is what it is. Which is to say - it seems to know what it's trying to be.

Which is to say - it seems to know what it's trying to be. And for the most part, I think that it's trying to be its own thing - an end which it achieves except for those times when it feels like things have taken a hard right-hand turn into derivations a la Serge Gainsbourg. Not that I mind a little of that sort of thing. In fact, when LaNuit is nodding toward the elder musician's style, I feel it works a bit better than the original. Or at least, it's less overtly sleazy and boozed-up sexual. It has a smoother voice of seduction and a more respectable swagger.
