I'm not as into my noisy garage punk rock'n'roll as I used to be--though I like this and the more I listen, the more I appreciate the not so instant tracks on the album. I'm not a native French speaker-though I must admit I'm a bit of a francophile-or should that be canadophile in this case? Watch out for the Violent Femmes-style idiophone on "�a Ira". Trés cool.

Taking the title of their first album from the once-scandalous Manet painting that Bow Wow Wow parodied on a 1982 EP cover, Montreal’s Les Breastfeeders debut with the proudly retro Dejeuner sur l’Herbe. With an unerring eye both for ear-pleasing hooks and which old records to steal them from, Les Breastfeeders cheerfully plunder everyone from France Gall and Johnny Hallyday to the Hollies and the Count Five over the course of this knowingly derivative album. It’s Les Breastfeeders knack for transforming the scavenged bits into sprightly pop songs as immediately charming as the breathless “Mini Jupe et Watusi,” with its chirpy falsetto backing vocals, and the tougher “Angle Mort” that keeps them from becoming merely garage rock Frankensteins. As a result, Dejeuner sur l’Herbe is a hugely entertaining way to spend an afternoon. – Stewart Mason
