Neimo - Poison The Chalice
Label: Shangri La
Release Date: 01/09/08

With the likes of Phoenix, Daft Punk and Air crossing the channel and breaking into the English music scene, French music has built up a reputation as being pioneering, sophisticated and at times aloof. How then this bunch of quasi-indie rockers have managed to make the journey to the white cliffs eludes me.
This flimsy offering from Neimo contains none of the above qualities. Instead 'Poison The Chalice' seems to try and meld all the indie punk bands of the last five or so years - Libertines, Hot Hot Heat, Kooks, and mix in just a little Parisian sophistication. The result is just another bland generic indie record.
You can't help but feel with just a little more effort Neimo might have produced something much more akin to their musical luminaries.
