The core instrumentation-violin, multiple guitars and bass-immediately points to the gypsy in lePercolateur's soul. Some energetic tunes with upbeat guitar accents and feisty violin work confirm this connection and fly by in fun fashion ('Bad Crazy Day'), but nothing flies too close to the gypsy jazz norm; the songs themselves and the presence of vocalist Candace Washburn, who injects a good amount of the 'pop' into Pop Manouche, make sure of that... Pop Manouche presents a band that drinks from the Quintette du Hot Club de France's well, yet finds sustenance in other musical realms. This stylistic openness contributes to the success of the hybridized music that lePercolateur produces." - Dan Bilawsky, AllAboutJazz.com "Candace Washburn easily evokes the heart-on-sleeve overtones of Random's lyrics with her bright, attractive voice... bassist Stacy McMichael is a terrific accompanist, with her razor sharp lines and brilliant bass tone. Violinist Marielle de Rocca-Serra, meanwhile, has gypsy jazz oozing from her supple phrases... The nuanced manner in which pop and folk styles are interlaced remind one of the fine work of Mumford & Sons. With ace production and a wonderful group dynamic, one can only hope that there are many more recordings to come from lePercolateur." - Dan Healy, Chicago Jazz Magazine "Candace Washburn fronts the group through eleven original compositions so good I swear I've heard some of them, and sung along, before... And while it's gypsy jazz, it's not the same old bunch of tunes you've been hearing since the 30s. Guitar guy Sam Random writes the lyrics, and those universal themes that make a tune a standard are all there&$133; I'll need another fix soon, guys. Don't wait too long. This disc is highly recommended." - Doug Boynton, GirlSingers.co.UK "lePercolateur provides a logical musical combination which, oddly, has rarely been heard before, a Chanteuse style female vocalist with the Django-influenced group. The result is a lot of fun... And the band's influences run wide. They do the expected jazzy music that can evoke 1930s French cabaret, the band also creates tune in a style more typical of a rock band, and they can sometimes get a little ethereal. So the album is as musically interesting as it is rhythmically infectious. It's also lyrically clever much of the time.. an impressive and fun album that continues the revived interest in the style of Django Reinhardt and adds a strong streak of musical eclecticism... lePercolateur has emerged as a first rate group that offers something different and an original twist to Gypsy jazz revival." - George Graham, WVIA Pennsylvania "This group has a mellow cabaret and jazz sound. It is a very cool sounding CD with a European flavor." - Doug Lewis, WVGN Virgin Islands "Hot stomping "Bad Crazy Day" and "Waiting for the End of the World" feature Washburn's earthy delivery awhile the team cooks on Bunsen burners on "Dancing in the Kitchen" and "Goin' Out." Perfect music for steppin' out with your babe." - George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly.com BIO: As the railyard bled into dark warehouses, the stranger found himself alone. Street after street he walked with night taking control of his senses until his ears perked at the music of sirens. The dulcet tones of violin, bass, and the female voice spiraled through the darkness from the sole source of warmth in sight. Helplessly drawn in, he found the last lit trailer in camp that seemed to have sprung forth from another time, and there -- in the form of three wome
