On first listening to
Jeff Barbare, he sounds a little strange.
Based in Quebec, Barbare often sings in French. It is
possible that - rather than him actually being strange - I could just be
reacting to the different language, but I suspect it's a little of both. Barbare's
style often sounds experimental and improvisational; "Dinosaur's
Goulash" sounds especially unformed.
Despite that, there is
often something inviting in the music, usually due to the funky bass lines and
sometimes to the enthusiasm of the delivery. Based on those criteria, my
favorites were "Jackie the Cat" and "Au Local".
I can't think of any
specific bands where liking them would be a good indicator that you would be
interested in Jeff Barbare, but if funky and weird sounds at all intriguing, you
should check out Jeff the Barbarian.
