Probably the best French band I've heard in a while, the trio Roselicoeur create a compelling mixture of fragmentary noise, haunting melodies, and stretched-out post-rock structures.  Their debut 12", 730 000 Dollars (Partycul System) has echoes of bands like Sonic Youth, Mogwai, and Hood, all tinged with love fo simply fucking things up.

Why are you doing this?
We don't want to know!

What is the best dream you ever had?
Général Ganache: We were three against 200 hundred policemen and we killed all of them.
Denis Locar: Contemplating the Golden Cities from my pivoted window.
Le Flanàgan: Swimming naked in a White Russian cocktail lake with Kylie Minogue.

What question do you hate to be asked and what's the answer?
Do you speak English?  Non, I LOVE it.

Describe your most rock n roll experience
DL: When I vomited on a poodle, right in its face.
LF: Looked at the last eclipse without my sunglasses.
GG: The girl-scout holiday camp attack.

Who is the coolest person in the band and why?
The sampler machine because he never taught us some girl friend.

How would you like to die?
DL: Electrocuted with my bass guitar on stage beneath the rain.
LF: Fucking Mark Nopfler (the Dire Straits guitarist).
GG: Choked by a Japanese kebab (Turkish sandwich), I fall on the Kwai River bridge detonator and die in the explosion.

Next January Roselicoeur will be playing in Marseille with Trans Am, and in June they will begin recording their first album.  Meanwhile, 730 000 Dollars is available now.
