Out of the streets of France comes The Cars are the Stars. Formerly known as “Playdoh,” a name dropped for legal reasons, The Cars are the Stars is a collection of six musicians and one video artist.
The band’s sound bring to mind Boards of Canada, Mogwai and Blonde Redhead as well as other breathy bands of electro rock smoothness. Chez Moi Records, a American-based record company with a love of all things French, describes the second album, “Fragments,” this way: “The Cars are the Stars delivers delicate, melodic and hypnotic electronic music with their second album Fragments. The lyrics, both in French and English, coupled with alternating male/female voices, are another appealing characteristic of the band. German minimal electronic music - with a French touch - meets classic indie-rock of the 90’s.”
