Various - Kitsune Maison 8

Reaching a ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ like eighth volume, Kitsuné unleash their latest favourites and friends on this generous selection.

New kids this time out are the equally hyped Two Door Cinema Club, (with ‘I Can Talk’), and Delphic (with ‘This Momentary’), both deserving that hype too. Good to hear new material from Midnight Juggernauts, whose ‘Dystopia’ album was a firm favourite round these parts, and Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos delivers a remix of Chew Lips’ ‘Salt Air’.

The Drums’ whistler ‘Let’s Go Surfing’ is another immediate hit with an irrepressible joie de vivre (appropriately). A personal mixtape from your cool, French friend.
