After several albums with producer Stéphane Prin (Camille,
Jean-Louis Murat), eclectic Nouvelle Scene Française ensemble
Debout sur le Zinc change their approach slightly for their sixth effort,
La Fuite en Avant. Now with Jean-Louis Pierot (
Alain Bashung,
Renan Luce) at the helm, the follow-up to 2008's
De Charybde en Scylla showcases a more stripped-back direction while still pursuing their unique blend of Gypsy jazz, rock, and traditional French chansons, as evident on the lead single, "Sur le Fil." ~ Jon O'Brien
