Antonine, to my ears is the French Donovan. Both were making music around the same time, and like the Scottish pop/folk singer, there is a tinge of quietness but with a great deal of spunk and style. Very tastefully arranged, Antonine draws me into his world, which seems reflective but youthful. There is even a version of "Hey Joe" (Jeremie et L'existence de dieu) that is up there with The Leaves/Love. The album has a bigger production on the first side -with baroque like string arrangements with a tad of garage rock, and the flip side is very much acoustic guitar and voice, and maybe a stand-up bass. Very 1967 like, quiet, and really fits the mood for those who are into the Psych-folk thing. But I sense that Antonine has a bite, and this is a very cool album. In other words I love it.
