Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia: Pain Disappears

The first ever artist on Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly Records is the dynamic Parisian duo of Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia. Their album, “Pain Disappears” is a collaborative crossover that brings together alt-pop, electro, and mciro-house sounds that appeals to even newcomers to the genre. They are being compared to Air, Gotan Project, and Fujiya & Miyagi, and while I not intimately familiar with those acts, I was drawn into the unique sounds the full week I had this CD on repeat. Their album drops March 4, 2008, but you can check out their single, “Far Away,” right now.
