New wave is as much a ‘present' music as anything else now, in an era of eternal scenes and variations upon them, so on the one hand Cafeneon are one of a number of bands finding something enjoyable in the herkyjerk hiccup rhythms of late seventies/early eighties acts and seeing what can be done with them in the 21st century. But on the other, the Belgian quartet do something a little bit more and part of that might be ascribable to their background. If the combinations of shoegaze glintandglaze and halfspokenword lyrics spike up the opening chug of "Patine" more than most bands of their inclination, the overlay as a whole calls to mind Crepescule more than Factory, say. While it would be simplistic to reduce Cafeneon's sound and style to that, there's an attractively selfconscious artiness in the group's feeling and delivery a studied casualness especially evident in the easygoingthennervous vocals of Rodolphe Coster, though Catherine Brevers's own more straightforward approach is no less enjoyable which steers clear of the overtly commercial even when hooks abound. The end result is a splintered identity that which might actually help cement the group's core sound all that much more fully, nervous dance, suave stroll, jangle pop and hypedup beats all recombining in slightly different ways each time. They're not fully settled in their own sound yet a song like "L'Instant" can remind one of Antena, another like "Snoopy" calls to mind early New Order and the Cure at their most rushed and bassled, and so forth but they've got a lot going on and can likely do a lot more with it in the future.
