The other day I searched "top French albums of 2010" and scrolled aimlessly through a couple lists, deciding on what I was going to download purely on intuition and not reading a thing. "General Elektriks," I thought, "that's a funny name. And it tricks me up, because I type a C in Elektriks everytime (Elecktriks). Tricky tricky!"
And I will say, his album "Good City for Dreamers" is excellent. His music is alternative pop funk rock, sort of? It is hard to define. He has an annoyingly high voice, but this gives his songs a sort of ironic charm. None of his songs make me think, "I'm badass," or "this is sweet," they make you think, "haha, this guy sucks," but then you think, "well, this little funky synth pattern is really starting to get to me," and then you realize you are humming his melodies, and then you put it back on, and now you are sucked into his ironically charming high voice and cutesy funk keyboard melodies.
This is also an amusing music video. Unfortunately I got his album from I don't remember where, so you'll have to find it yourself.
