Hey Hey My My

Have you noticed that lately the good people of France have graciously offered to entertain us through song? That recent Phoenix album is awesome enough, but if you’re looking for something lighter and possibly relaxing, there’s a pair of Juliens ready to fill your DAP, a duo known as Hey Hey My My.

Listening to a few of their songs it’s easy to understand why they chose such a name. Though they don’t really sound like Neil Young, they do share a love for well-placed harmonica and hats from the old west. To be precise, Hey Hey My My sound very much like European cowboys, especially on their single “Too Much Space”. Hear that spaghetti western harmonica? See the name of the other song below? But I think the other songs on their websites sound more like Kings of Convenience harmonies laid over Beatles folk. That’s a great combo in my book. Really, what could be more pleasant?

They don’t have an album, yet; I think they’re still working on a 7″; but add the tracks below to your mix, check out their MySpace page, and keep them in mind.

• Listen to “Too Much Space“
• Listen to “Morricone“
