Laurent Bardainne sketches Prologue EP like Paris jazz-pop waking up stylishly late

Laurent Bardainne & Tigre d’Eau Douce’s Prologue EP arrives on 19 June with the kind of title that suggests the real story is just beginning. The credits tell a stylish Paris tale: Bardainne on keys and saxophone, Nicolas Villebrun on guitar, Arnaud Roulin on keys and Vincent Taeger on drums, with artwork by Salomé Lahoche and mastering by Chab. The tags sit around indie pop, jazz, alternative pop, French pop and indie rock, which places the EP in a polished but still exploratory space. Bardainne’s saxophone has always brought a cinematic quality to his projects, and Tigre d’Eau Douce sounds like the kind of band name that already knows how to lounge, pounce and drift. Prologue EP feels like a small opening chapter where jazz sophistication and indie-pop ease share a table, probably with excellent coffee and suspiciously cool lighting.
