Album Notes Following stints in the pastiche girl-group The Pussywillows and the indiepop trio The Shitbirds, New York-bred animator Elinor Blake moved to Los Angeles and assumed the persona of '60s-style Gallic songstress April March. Blake is fluent in French and sings in the Francoise Hardy/France Gall mode. Most of CHICK HABIT consists of covers of such classic '60s French pop hits as Gall's "Cet Air La" and Jacques Dutronc's "Les Temps De L'Amour." But the crowning touch comes with the title track, where Blake adds her sweetly ironic original lyrics to a Serge Gainsbourg melody. Though unfortunately brief at a mere eight songs in just over 20 minutes, CHICK HABIT is nonetheless a perfect introduction to both April March and to the glories of '60s French pop.
