Most of us expect certain things from Cajun music since its resurgence in the ’80s, and Feufollet is happy to deliver the hot-tempo party sound on a few tracks of En Couleurs. But most of the CD by the francophone Louisiana band is a surprise, starting with the moody atmospherics of the opening ballad (“Au Fond du Lac”) and continuing through accordion-fiddle powered four-four tunes set to progressions that sound more rock than Cajun and a few straight-up rockers with a slight bayou accent. Bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Chris Stafford was determined to build the sound of En Couleurs from unexpected textures, employing glockenspiel, toy piano and samples. 06/01/10
