Jordan GallandGenre: French Pop From: New York, United States
New York City filmmaker and musician Jordan Galland, formerly of the band Dopo Yume, is best known for his work on Daniel Merriweather’s latest album 'Love & War'. Jordan wrote 'Cigarettes' and 'Live By Night' which Ryan Adams described as “Perfect, like a blowjob on a yacht”... oh how I wish I'd said that!).
If Ryan Adams' description has perked your interest in Jordan you'll be please to find out that he has just released his debut-solo album, 'Airbrush'.
Inspired by Serge Gainsbourg, Leonard Cohen and early Françoise Hardy, Galland's cerebral lyrics are set to pop melodies that mix horns, dreamy backing vocals and curious homemade beats - creating a spooky and intimate sound.
There are two tracks courtesy of the Devil (and OffCentralPR) for you to try out. 'They Always Come Back' starts like Jerri's 'Go Fight Your War' before launching into what sounds like a more focused Pete Doherty in a beret smoking a gauloise. While 'Everyone Else Is Boring' sounds like the Libertines if they'd been born next to the Seine rather than the Thames.
If you like your pop to come equipped with intelligence and a certain je ne sais quoi then pack your bags and head for Jordan.

I liked the idea and the title and the first 3 seconds, but unfortunately it's not just everyone else......
