简介

This spring marks the release of French's first ever full-length solo album, Forget Your Future, which was inspired by several genres including house, bounce, hard style, trance, dream pop, post punk, new wave, and hip-hop. For the creator, Forget Your Future is a personal account of her rude awakening to "real life" and entering adulthood, wrought with lost love and a struggle to find life's direction in the midst of a seemingly strange time for the world. Disappointed by the inauthenticity of contemporary pop music and the resulting hesitance to believe an (female) artist is responsible for all if any artistic merit behind her work, French set out to create an album which would rely on no outside assistance, if nothing else but to prove a point, and do so deftly. Using her computer, a loop pedal, and some analog and digital synths accompanied by her knowledge of production, French wrote, recorded and produced the entire album herself in her apartment in downtown Richmond. "Negative Gemini is the recently-launched solo project of Lindsey French, formerly(?) of Les La Britanica. Negative Gemini uses a lot of the same sonic building blocks as Lindsey's former group did--cheap synths, drum machines, a general miasmic haze floating over everything--but the resulting music is very different. It features almost no hip hop influence. Instead of rapping, Lindsey delivers her vocals in a slow, languid tone that makes me think of Mazzy Star vocalist Hope Sandoval. The thin, hazy keyboard sound and programmed beats come together to evoke some of the recent groups tagged with the chillwave moniker, such as Ariel Pink or Washed Out, mixed with recent synth-pop revivalists like Grimes or Purity Ring."-RVAmag "Negative Gemini is the trip hop project by Lindsey French, formerly Les La Britanica, and she has just dropped Forget Your Future. The album consists of 12 tracks written, performed, and engineered by French herself. Her intoxicating vocals call and moan through some of the sickest beats. Negative Gemini teases a little dubstep, as in “Ice Sluts,” the breakdown is the last part of the song, hence it never drops. Nice, keep ‘em hangin. “Virgin Who Can’t Drive” is a pretty chill joint that takes Stacey Dash’s quote from the movie Clueless and jams it out. It ends up being one of those situations where one says the same words over and over until they don’t make sense anymore and sound like complete gibberish. Very psychedelic."-Sounds of RVA
