Quentin Delafon is a born romantic. The 26-year-old frontman for Paris blog heroes the Teenagers sings like he’d dry-hump you just as soon as look at you. He writes lusty propositions to Scarlett Johansson and takes dating advice from Blink-182 songs. And when he kicks a girl out of bed, he makes sure to let her shower before she leaves. Thankfully, it’s all an act, and a hilarious one-a satirical take on sex and adolescence, set to a soundtrack of shoe-gazey guitars and sweet, gushing synths, like the X-rated move John Hughes never made. This pleasure-happy debut is Serge Gainsbourg by way of MySpace-full of ’80s-baby references (Dirty Dancing make-out sessions, having sex to Mariah Carey’s “Hero”) and tongue-in-cheek odes to putting tongues in cheeks. It’s one big, horny wink-halfway between charming and totally sleezy. – Blender
