  1. Songs so odd and cheekily gleeful they could almost be Mentos jingles.
  2. This French quartet specializes in bubbly AM indie-pop that gives it more the feel of a male-fronted version of the Cardigans.
  3. Thankfully, this is more absurd than mawkish, made even better by the fact that Tahiti 80 are French people singing in English, and therefore do not always make sense.

    Sounds something like a male-fronted Cardigans... [Aug 2001, p.141]

    There's some buzzing and belling on "Puzzle," some crimped cracking that doubles as new wave, but for the most part, it's California dreaming at its dumbest.

    It all combines for an enjoyable listen... provided you block out the lyrics. [#146, p.102]
  7. France's Tahiti 80 seem so enamoured with their musical idols that they can barely voice a personal touch of their own.
