looking for love

All summer, we talk about a great love song every day. Tuesday, July 18, a large French pop group leafs through the dictionary of proper names in search of a feeling.

“This place that extends as it is written, between Amos and Amsterdam”this place we talk about every day of the summer in this column: somewhere between Amos and Amsterdam, there is the word love, when you run your finger over the columns of a dictionary of proper names.

It’s 1995 and the Innocents are singing Between Amos and Amsterdamone of the masterpieces of a historical album, Postpartum. At the time, critics exclaimed that this CD was at the level of the great British pop groups – Tears For Fears, XTC, The Boo Radleys -, far above the French pop production of that time, while being of a magnificent poetic quality. Remember this album.
