Euxautres


Katie Heath loves Eux Autres

With spring around the corner, the time has come for ritual cleaning, bare arms, and twee-charged playlists equipped to crush any leftover remnants of the winter blues. So if you’re looking to make your own soundtrack soon, might I suggest the indie-pop sensibilities of Eux Autres? Their songs are laden with handclaps, countdowns, jangly guitar hooks, and mimic French garage-pop songs of the ‘70s at times. Siblings Heather Larimer (drums) and Nicholas Larimer (guitar) share sing-song vocals and like to periodically trade English verse for French so effortlessly, you’d never guess that they hail originally from Omaha, Nebraska. I recommend the track “The Things They Carried,” off their first full-length album Hell Is Eux Autres.
