Halo Maud—nom de plume of Paris-based songwriter Maud Nadal—has a psychedelic sound inspired by France's fertile experimental pop scene and acts like Aquaserge. Her vocal style is indebted to Françoiz Breut and Brigitte Fontaine, while her music's shuffling rhythms and detuned guitars nod to Deerhoof's playful naivety as much as PJ Harvey and Sonic Youth's noisy abrasions.
