10-track album released 2008

francois virot releases his debut album, 'yes or no', on half machine records. lyon based francois has been performing solo (occasionally accompanied by his brother on hand claps) on downtime from his other bands, which he drums in (no snow and clara clara if you were wondering). landing somewhere mid-point between the frenetic freak folk of animal collective, the lo-fi introspection of elliott smith and joyous pop of the shins. 'yes or no' is a lo-fi freak pop masterpiece, and remarkably full sounding, considering it's only guitar, voice and handclaps! a summer pop album ('say fiesta', 'not the one' or 'cascade kisses') as much as it is an album for autumn evenings ('fish boy' or the billie holiday cover 'i wish i had you'). an album which unravels more subtleties and melodies on each subsequent listen.
