Hey, guys do you like languages other than English? Do you like music? Well put em together.

I'd imagine you guys would be more knowledgeable about this stuff than /mu/ is so here we go: All you have to do is mention an album or song that you like that's in another language, it doesn't matter if the band usually sings in English and it doesn't matter if you have any idea what they're saying. I actually don't have a lot, but I'll try to post something new every day.

Mademoiselle K: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO9OOf_mW2A

This is so far my personal favorite foreign-language rock album, the whole thing is just head bobbin punk sung entirely in French and the lead singer does a damn good job. This first album is easily their best, but their second is pretty good too (but kind of hard to find).

Japan's got some good tunes too. This is a short, but sweet shoegaze-style rock album that kind of reminds me of The Joy Formidable in the way. They've got a fast, driving sound that's just. Awesome. Skabetty is their best song in my opinion, but it's all good. If you like Japanese stuff, but can't find any music outside of AKB and shit (to think that industry-produced music is even worse outside of America), give this one a try.

Another one from France, I really like this band. Its pop or dance music. Their second album, Safari Disco Club, is damn good crank up music that you can't help but bob your head to the beat. If you like Madeon, check out his remix of Que veux-tu, that's really good too.

Super Furry Animals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC1JrHWIRlU

Today's album is called "In an Aeroplane Over the Sea". Just kidding. It's Super Furry Animals, a band that normally plays in English, but this album is in Welsh, a beautiful language, in my opinion. This is my favorite track on "Mwng", give it a go. It's hard to find a good "rock" song in Welsh, but this album's pretty okay.

Boris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I02GzM16_XQ

Today's band is Boris, and this one is "Attention Please". Really any of the Boris albums are good, just pick one, though this one has good lyrics. If you want to hear a dude singing, then their new album "Noise" is also really good.
