My girlfriend is better than yours
My girlfriend is better than yours, from Paris in France are a duet comprising Olivier Marguerit and Laurie Lassalle, who got together in 2006 and have developed a surrealist, electro pop, folk style which is uniquely theirs. Olivier is a busy musician involved with numerous projects and Laurie a successful director of documentaries and videos.
It would be very easy to dismiss My girlfriend is better than yours on the introduction, but it would be the wrong thing to do in my opinion. The experimental instrumentation combined with well written lyrical content which is simultaneously superficial and resonant of life experience, creates an output which ranges across a variety of styles and moods.
When playing live the duet work with the same musicians, which enables the material to come to life. My girlfriend is better than yours works as an audio entity, a performance outfit and with video which encapsulate the sentiment behind the songs.
My girlfriend is better than yours far from being something Laurie and Olivier play with in their spare time, the duet are highly creative and relevant. Their EP Foreplay was released on 10th October 2009.
