Whilst we enormously enjoy sharing with you the new music that we discover on a weekly basis, from time to time it’s nice to mix it up a little bit. Buoyed by World Cup fever, a few weeks back we committed to creating a playlist of tracks that originated from the winning country. We’re terribly sorry that Uruguay missed out on World Cup glory, and it’s a shame that Croatia got pipped at the post, but in all honesty, we breathed a sigh of relief when France took home the trophy.
It was a joy to go through the options that France presented in terms of music for this playlist. It’s not all brand new bands and songs, but they’re all fitting for a Roadburn-related playlist. The options were rich pickings, with many genres represented. Here’s a selection of French and France-related artists for our latest Roadburn: Essential Sounds playlist. Amusez-vous!
