Recorded over almost two years, first in Detroit with Jim Diamond at the Ghetto Recorder and then with Travis Harrison at Serious Business Music in NYC, the musical odyssey reflected in 'Pataphysical Graffiti stands as the band's greatest achievement (placing them firmly atop the storm-blasted heath of French rock n roll), an eclectic mix of funky dance numbers such as Le Biz (a searing indictment of the notoriously corrupt French rock bizness) and Sartre et L Homard (reflecting the historical incident of the existential philospher's mescaline hallucinations), to rockers like the politically minded If You See Something, Say Something and Hypocrite Lecteur (commenting on the historical lineage of Hipsterism from Baudelaire to Warhol to Williamsburg), 1960's style pop groovers like Où Est Où Est and Jour du Vélo (this is echt L.S.C., their French rock wheelhouse), to the high-life version of Serge Gainsbourg's N.Y., USA and beautiful Jobim homage Comme L Amour, and punk-swing mash-up of Hypermarché.
