The weather here for the past few weeks has us dreaming of the joys of a gentle spring. We know it won't happen any time soon, but we've discovered the next best thing: The music of The Gentle Spring. The Paris-based trio featuring Michael Hiscock of Sarah Records darlings Field Mice recently released Looking Back at the World, a lovely instant classic of achingly perfect bittersweet indie pop. We are mature enough (finally, and just barely) to appreciate the nuanced lyricism and deft phrasing, but our perennially adolescent hearts dwell shamelessly on the emotional highs and lows. Quiet, but vibrant, it is near flawless and will keep our spirits high until our own spring arrives.
The Gentle Spring are Michael Hiscock, Emilie Guillaumot, and Jeremie Orsel. Looking Back at the World is out now via Skepwax.
