I’ve already written about the simple pleasures of A House Full Of Friends, the Magic Marker compilation that came out last year, but these guys are worth a second look. Eux Autres are a Portland brother-sister duo who represent the young end of the spectrum on the compilation; their debut album was released in 2004. Heather and Nick Latimer play French garage pop the way only an American twee duo can: not really all that French, not really all that garage, but definitely lots of fun. And though the other tracks off of Hell Is Eux Autres are pretty good (especially the perfectly lovely “Other Girls,” which you can grab off their site), the last album track—and the one that shows up on A House Full Of Friends—is a riot. It’s the sound of a band that had way too much fun in the recording studio, really; the track stumbles along at a leisurely pace, anchored by the back and forth between Nick and Heather’s vocals and the slightly-behind the beat drumming. But then we hit the outro, which is full of enough silliness and charm for five bands.
