Revolver

Revolver, the French band equally shaped by Mozart, Bach, and Benjamin Britten alongside Radiohead, the Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel, apply the term "pop de chambre" to their own work. Ambroise Willaume, Christophe Musset, and Jérémie Arcache launched the group in 2006, refining an acoustic approach during discreet rehearsals inside a compact Parisian apartment; the 2008 debut EP preceded their first full-length effort, the mid-'60s Brit-pop-inflected Music for a While, which appeared the following year. Percussionist Maxime Garoute joined for the European tour, after which the band earned two nominations at Les Victoires de la Musique and shifted toward Americana on the 2012 sophomore album Let Go, which drew widespread critical praise.
