The first single from Tame Impala drummer Julien Barbagallo's forthcoming solo album Danse Dans Les Ailleurs is a heart-warming nugget of French psychedelia meets modern folk. 'L'échappé', which translates to 'The Breakaway' provides some much-needed escapism for these dark and dreary winter days with its gentle guitar strums, minimal drum beats and Barbagallo's soothing yet catchy vocals. The jaunty verses develop into experimental interludes with groovy bass lines, analogue synthesisers and Beach Boys-esque backing vocals, all introduced seamlessly by Barbagallo's infamous Tame Impala drum fills. Danse Dans Les Ailleurs comes out on March 2nd via Sony Music France/Arista. -HLMX
