Both Talisco and The Toxic Avenger are French based musicians that are signed with Roy Music indie label. Their newest singles actually have a very similar vibe so I can see how the same label would push both bands. The Toxic Avenger has an album out with the same name of the single "Romance & Cigarettes." Talisco on the other hand put out their first singe from their EP My Home over the summer.
I actually ran across Talisco searching for The Toxic Avenger video to "Romance & Cigarettes" and I was quickly hooked by the song "Your Wish" from their My Home EP. Being that Talisoc is a French based artist, I was a bit late in hearing this single. But I think any fan of Phoenix will enjoy this song. It's got the same catchy synth sound with pop lyrics. If you like the song below, you can find their entire EP My Home on the Roy Music YouTube page. I actually like the song "My Home" more than "Your Wish"but they haven't put out a video of that song. The entire EP is worth owning.
The Toxic Avenger's first single from their new album is called "Romance & Cigarettes." It's really light and fun, perfectly fit for the summer when it was released. I think the video they put out is really fitting. I was actually expecting heavier synth because of their previous album but was pleasantly surprised. The French really know their synth pop. They are in close competition with Sweden for the crown to that genre currently in my book.
