Forgive the hyperbole, but anything Gaëtan Roussel touches turns to gold. This is a man you should follow, wherever he goes—from his time in the pioneering French rock band Louise Attaque to Tarmac and beyond. Roussel is a songwriter's songwriter, the man who gave French chanson a punk edge and sounded cool as a cucumber doing it. Few people can make the simple combination of voice and guitar sound so riveting: his matter-of-fact vocal delivery can almost inexplicably flood your heart with feeling. His solo work just keeps the magic going.
