French Possession

About Me

French Possession are gathering momentum: first came their impressive debut album 'Foil for a girl in a posh frock' in 2006; then their first single 'Triple A', followed by their successful attempt at Christmas cheese with 'What does Christmas do?'Now, though, is the time for a gear change. Studio work has commenced on their second album 'Forgetting to breathe'and it's sounding just that bit sharper and cleverer than their previous work. There are no fillers here; and no overriding 'retro' feel. There are occasional nods to another era, but in a more refined, timeless way. Elsewhere there is a more current, down to earth acknowledgement that there's a real world out there and it ain't so pretty. All in all it's a mix of everywhere you've been - good places and bad. It's the best French Possession can do ... and it might not be good enough. But we think it's close.Before the album, though, will come what we believe will be the breakthrough single - 'Archie saves the world'. Only very recently written, it is possible their strangest and undoubtedly their most commercial song to date. So, hold on tight, Archie will sort it all out ... but where will he sleep tonight? ___________________________________________________________
