The DIY spirit of ‘90s slacker rock and 21st-century indie runs through Thierry Larose’s poppy, loose-limbed tunes. He can drive up the fuzz as Wavves do on their brash “So Bored”, turn out an unforgettable melody like Semisonic did with their end-of-the-night anthem “Closing Time” and mesmerise with chilled-out noodling in the vein of Vampire Weekend’s “Unbearably White”.
