Fixing the Charts by Everybody Was In The French Resistance…Now! is an Eddie Argos Art Brut concept band. Helping Eddie is Dyan Valdes of the Blood Arm, who does her part in both playing the synthesizer and softly rounding out the pliant vocal soundscape. Together, their creation is a tootling rush of trumpets and hand claps backed up by lambent guitar lines that fizz through historical and witty lyrics.Eddie’s and Dyan’s voices are straightforward and sometimes dead-pan. However, their frill-less singing forms a foundation that supports the sound heavy melody accompanying them without crossing into an over minimalist delivery. “G.I.R.L.F.R.E.N (You Know I’ve Got A)” is a funny but pervasive response to Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” that earned it playback with my repeat function. “Creque’s Allies,” the album’s opener, left me disappointed at first – it felt self-aware and smarmy, like a Wes Anderson film without insight. After a few listens, though, the cadence and cool vocal delivery penetrated my first impression, which finally warmed me to the album. Fixing the Charts’ downside is that it ‘ difficult to listen to more than four songs in a row. The singers’ voices make the songs feel repetitive and the constant witticisms and allusions to other songs quickly grow old.
