montage populaire

montage populaire

montage populaire is an indie pop act from England. Their music draws on cut-and-paste production and songwriting, with influences including the Fiery Furnaces, Of Montreal and MGMT. Their sound also takes in sample-led textures associated with Broadcast, Stereolab and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, alongside songwriting influences such as the Smiths, David Bowie, the Beatles, the Velvet Underground, the Kinks, Belle and Sebastian and Syd Barrett.

In 2009, the act’s demo is described as an eclectic DIY recording, moving between frisky indie pop and more stylised pop-rock elements. The material is also linked to a broad set of reference points, including the Super Furry Animals, Roxy Music, the Beta Band, Mystery Jets and the Cure.
