Another lost gem, recently rediscovered. Tahiti 80 are a French band whose debut album 'Puzzle' dealt in a bright and breezy but nicely layered line in demure indie pop.
'Yellow Butterfly' is a simple pop song on the surface but beneath lies a web of interlocking instrumentation. It's decidedly Stereolab-esque in the way of 'French Disko'. The Krautrock-ing rhythms are augmented with a web of interlocking bass and drums but the melodies above are awash with sweet brass and vocals.
The b-side features a fairly faithful cover of The Left Banke's classic of baroque pop 'Desiree'. But that's one for another day...
