Underground Railroad
Underground Railroad are a gang of dirty, French mothers coming from the same Versailles district as Air, and possessing a magnetism you can't ignore.
Sounding a bit like Tracy Emin doing Sonic Youth, their music manages to be both dreamy and grimy. The sound is weirdly polished, full of whining guitars and drawling vocals, but manages to make you feel like it could break out into a full-on Lightning Bolt-style meltdown at any minute.

Underground Railroad – NYC
This track starts off sounding an awful lot like Fugazi, with Raphael Mura essentially doing his take on the drawling Kim Gordon thing. It ends up however, bearing more resemblance to Liars; essentially dark, hazy shrieks of indie noise.
I find the idea of this band singing a song with the lyrics 'you say you're cool but you're not cool' baffling. Hipsters? Mocking hipsters? It messes with my head. I like this song though; despite such accusations of post irony allusions, the band retain a Pavement down-to-earthiness.
