Format:Audio CD
This 2nd album by the all girl group is a major leap forward from LP1. This album is a touch more polished but all the better for it. It has great diversity and variety of pace but the tunes are super catchy and the girls still rock it when they want to. Highly recommended.

Katty Besnard et al are a breath of fresh air, style vitality and panache. About Love is the second album by the band with the addition of Anaïs Vandevyvere on drums replacing Zazie Tavitian giving the Plastiscines a sense of being a proper 4 piece rock band.
This album sees genuine growth in song writing from the minimal garage rock of LP1 to 12 musically structured songs. The material has a more polished pop sound but has still retained some garage rock sensibilities resulting in a great second album. The single Barcelona is a stand out track and with the video directed by Marvin Scott Jarrett it is a fantastic ambassador for the album.

Pleasantly Suprised!
21 Aug 2009
Format:Audio CD
I came across this group by mistake, never knowing anything about this band from France. So I purchased the cd after hearing the sound bites on Amazon. These girls can Rock! I gave this cd a 5 star rating because this was better than I expected. "Barcelona" sounds like a sure hit, with it's catchy dance tempo. My other favorites are "I Could Rob You", "Bitch", the acoustic "I Am Down", "You're No Good" and "Coney Island". If they keep making music like this, they should be successful in the music world.

Beautiful Girls And Polished Garage Rock

"About Love" by The Plastiscines is a great combination of French beauty and well-executed garage rock. This album contains an alluring combination of French and English lyrics, good musicianship, clever writing, and a variety of musical styles. Like you might suspect from the title, the songs thematically revolve around love and relationships. The songs tend toward up-tempo rockers, and include everything from a smoking cover of "You're No Good" (though I could have done without the "hey, ho, hey" embellishment,) to the tasteful acoustic "I Am Down Tonight." My favorites are definitely the fast-paced rockers "Another Kiss," "Pas Avec Toi," and "Barcelona," which is audio dynamite.
The Plastiscines are native to Paris, and have been performing from a young age and are skilled musicians (one, bassist Louise Basilien, started off as a classically trained harpist!) I particularly loved the pairing of gravelly and brash instrumental parts with sweet and sultry lyrics, and think the finished album is a fine example of garage band ethos and girl band energy. This is an impressive album and while I'm not historically a fan of girl bands, I think this is a very good album.
