Two reviews by Rowland chart François‑Régis Cambuzat's evolution from the Kim Squad's visceral garage/post-punk to intimate, chanson-tinged solo records. Notre-Dame des naufragés is described as an acoustic, rainy-day album; Uccidiamo Kim blends singer-songwriter, jazz and world influences. Both reviews are positive and emphasize his theatrical stage presence and eclectic experimentation.

For:Fans of underground 1980s rock, chanson, post-punk, singer-songwriters and experimental music.

Notre Dame Des Naufragés is an acoustic, intimate, and introverted album, to play on a rainy day while watching the drops slide along the slightly fogged window panes.
