POP SHOP/FADED GLAMOUR

"Mondrian are an indie-pop band from France, a nation that I am gaining more respect for by the day as they seemed to handle their rejection from hosting the 2012 Olympic Games A LOT better than England currently is/are with the 2018 World Cup bid. Shame on all of you throwing your toys out of the pram. Perhaps Mondrian will cheer you up though. They put out a 7 track EP called 'Pop Shop' in the summer but dropped me an email with a new song, of the same name, the other day. Now I wasn't really that into it but I do try to listen to a couple of tracks from every band that I get emailed about. That probably explains the vast number of unread messages in my inbox. But if I didn't do that, I would have missed out on Mondrian's joyous twee-pop offerings, such as 'LHG' and 'Tofu Farmer'. These songs are like a stripped back Phoenix, while still retaining all of that band's anthemic glory." = http://www.fadedglamour.co.uk/2010/12/surfacing-mondrian.html.
