For some reason, these four boys from Normandy seem to be allergic to vowels. To pronounce their name, MNNQNS, you simply have to bring all the vowels back and all of a sudden a word appears: ‘mannequins’, a word which has a similar meaning in their native language. They’re French but their songs are in English, and their influences are clearly American and British, with a soft spot for 1970’s angular rock and dark post-punk.
