“I first heard Arlt play in a small club in Brooklyn. I was so blown away that I asked them to play their infectious song, La Rouille, a second time at the end of the show. Arlt channel the early punk aesthetics of the Velvet Underground through their own elusive take on chanson, and a highly-developed sense of songwriting which is striking and classic at the same time. Imagine Leonard Cohen fronting the Velvet Underground, or if Serge Gainsbourg and Nico had spent years developing a duo. Unafraid to write in their native French tongue like so many of their contemporaries, Arlt’s songs are immediately appealing, their spare arrangements vital and whimsical, drawing you into to their dream-like world of disturbed beauty.” Bryce Dessner / The National
