Review

Although Laetitia Sadier (of Stereolab) and John Cunningham (of High Lamas) certainly leave their mark on their contributions to Fugu, Vol.1, the debut from French pop maestro Fugu (and his 20-piece orchestra) has much more to offer. The beautifully composed piano and organ pieces here are embellished by harpsichord, strings, siren, and even a wailing baby, with much of the album sounding like fellow Brian Wilson obsessives Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. Indeed, the rural lyrics on "Baragan" sound spookily similar to that band's brand of gentle psychedelic folk-pop. But Fugu's romance isn't with a mythical folk heritage. The complex, polished harmonies of tracks like "Triple Bass" recall Pet Sounds, and "Pianolyre" is like an acid-driven trip to the fairground via Sgt. Pepper's. It's light yet intimate '60s pop all the way for Fugu, and thank God he decided to take us along. --Caroline Butler
