about

It’s taken Tom and Rob four years, five babies and a wide selection of perfectly cooked oven pizzas to record ten songs. The fruits of their efforts collected in one album: Two Drink Maximum, a wildly exciting tribute to a sensible night in.

Perched precariously between snot-encrusted rocking horses and My Little Pony that won’t switch off, The France have shaped a batch of kitchen sink dramas that hark back to their CD-littered bedrooms of the nineties.

Delve into the record and you’ll discover heart-breaking odes to uneven breasts (‘The 51st Way to Leave Your Lover’), cautionary tales on the evils of Lemsip addiction (‘Domestic Drugs’) and an aching paean to Rob’s remarkably durable anorak (‘My Regatta’).

Recorded over the course of a year at Spacewolf Recording Studio in Wells, with a rotating cast of drummers (Chris Ward) and saint-like producer, Luke Stidson, Two Drink Maximum is a universal album for every self-doubting 35-year-old in West Wiltshire.

Viva la France.

Still Life
by Massage

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist

Four perfect slices of jangle pop. They have the melodies, they know their chiming guitars and how to sigh in the right way. Andreas Hess
