They may not have the catchiest name in the music biz, but their music is infectious. They don’t play songs that get stuck on repeat in my head. Instead, this Seattle 5-piece band play a fresh style of indie rock that begs repeated listening in my car or on my ipod.

The French Semester are an indie band comprised of 5-members from places as diverse as India, Mexico, Vietnam, and Europe. Although they come from different corners of the world, the bands music is very unified modern folk pop. Try to imagine Simon Joyner time-traveling to meet The Hollies and forming a band. They recently released an EP called Forces Afield. Before this, 2009 saw the release of the critically acclaimed album Good Friends Only I Could See, which contains my New Music Monday selection, Backwards Rolling.
