Question and answer

Q. What do you think French-language Canadian shoegaze made by an impossibly good-looking collection of youths sounds like.

A. This. This is Minimum by Montreal's Bon Enfant.

And with all apologies for my O-level French translation...

C’est une belle journée Sans téléphone Il n’y a que toi Et le soleil qui rayonne Sans effets spéciaux Ta main dans mon dos Les nuages se déforment On dirait du pop corn On fait le minimum On le fait comme personne Juste le minimum On le fait comme personne C’est une belle journée Le vent qui résonne Assise par terre Dans tes bras grands ouverts On fait le minimum On le fait comme personne Juste le minimum On le fait comme personne

It's a beautiful day No phone It's just you And the sun shining No special effects Your hand on my back The clouds are shifting They look like popcorn We're doing the minimum We're doing it like no-one else Just the minimum We're doing it like no-one else It's a beautiful day The wind is rustling Sitting on the ground In your wide-open arms We're doing the minimum We're doing it like no-one else Just the minimum We're doing it like no-one else
