In concert November 14th at L’International Bar in Paris.

Season in and season out, we’ve now moved on from checked shirts back around to Doc Martens (or lookalikes anyway), florals, denim, and curtain haircuts. Yet Fashion’s clichés forget the timbre of 90s culture, which may not be able to be defined as looks but more as places.

These places don’t have to be Nirvana or Marcy’s Playground, and if radio and portis heads should meet, why not in a Magic Pop Hotel?

Teetering between pop and trip-hop, French singer, Carolyn Evan, and composer Jean-Baptiste Ayoub play with all kinds of grains against electronic froth in their recently released, self-titled album which reads as “melodies inviting you to fly away”.

We guarantee this hotel is surprisingly pop-trippy, like having gotten high in the halls of 90s nostalgia. The entire album is an experience of wanderlust. One moment you’ve caught a familiar metric recalling the Sneaker Pimps, only to be cradled by some Air, and wait, perhaps some Sade ?

Try to count the directions of your enthusiasm within the span of the Magic Pop Hotel’s 10 tracks.

Magic Pop Hotel released on Lafolie Records.
