"French Cassettes’ music drifts skillfully between indie pop and rock with sticky, mischievous and exhilarating turns.” – VICE

"The San Francisco indie-pop band French Cassettes deal in short, compact bursts of guitar-slathered joy that instantly elevate the mood of the room; if the Strokes traveled back in time and recorded a younger, tighter prequel to Is This It, it would neatly resemble French Cassettes’ debut full-length, Gold Youth.

French Cassettes, a harmony-driven power-pop quartet from San Francisco, create music brimming with intricate, hook-filled melodies that captivate listeners. Their sophomore LP, Rolodex, was conceived in a stairwell and self-recorded across the Bay Area, resulting in layered and complex tracks. The album features elaborate vocal harmonies, inventive percussion, honey-coated basslines, and a blend of clean and fuzzy guitars, creating a sound that’s both majestic and esoteric. Frontman Scott Huerta’s playful, verbose lyrics add a semi-autobiographical puzzle-like quality, making Rolodex an epic and mature statement from the band.
