about

Named after the great French Nouvelle Vague film director François Truffaut, this indie rock band has been around for almost 30 years now. Formed shortly after their idol’s demise, a first album came out in 1987, making Sycamore the already twelfth release of the Truffauts. And after all these years, it is apparently still a mystery if the quartet is a bunch of French guys living in Germany, or more precisely Nuremberg, or if they are simply Francophile Germans.

This conundrum will not be solved on their new album either. Once again, as in the past, the band is coming along with French and English lyrics, although the former ultimately can be heard on one song more than the latter. Stylistically, The Truffauts are all about indie rock, sometimes in a joyful noisy fashion with a certain pop punk appeal, and at other times resorting to a mellower mood of melancholy. Even though they switch as swiftly between French and English lyrics as they switch between fast and slower material, you will never feel ripped out of the listening experience. The band’s strongest appeal is of course their very mature songwriting, but it also helps that they never dwell too long on any single idea. The thirteen songs are mostly quite short, which adds a little to a devil-may-care punk attitude....
