The first song on the new EP is great. So's most of Gulag Orkestar.

Lon Gisland is amazing, so is Gulag Orkestar. Pompeii and Small Time American Bats, not so much. But it shows how his musicianship developed over the years.

So, new French pop record, eh?

Sorry, I'm out of the loop.

Zach has said that he has been listening to lots of French pop (the old one, not the horrible new commercial one), and has said that it inspired the new upcoming album. It has not title as of yet, but once was titled The Flying Club Cup. The Flying Club Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think Zach will become the European Sufjan Stevens soon enough.

But...he's not european....

Tiago · 06-26-2007, 01:18 PM

Yes, but he knows more European culture than most. And what I meant by European Sufjan Stevens was that he would put out albums inspired by European places/events/history/etc., just like Sufjan did with 2 states. (plz plz, let it be Oregon...)

adidasss · 06-26-2007, 02:01 PM

Why Oregon?

sleepy jack · 06-26-2007, 02:40 PM

Sufjan quit doing the states thing.

Tiago · 06-26-2007, 02:52 PM

He better not.

sleepy jack · 06-26-2007, 03:27 PM

Wait nvm, hes doing Oregon or Rhode Island next, and possibly Minnesota soon. His state songs are kind of lame because for the most part their very loosely tied to that state and could just as easily be related to another, but I guess thats the only way you can pull it off.
