Belgium's Melon Galia capture a beautiful French-European sound intertwined with occasional Anglo-Saxon influences (Belle & Sebastian, The Smiths, Teenage Fan Club) and an outstanding orchestration of instruments. The album [Les embarras du quotidien] was recorded by John Cunningham and mixed by Mike Mogis (Lullaby For The Working Class and Bright Eyes). Mogis also contributes and invites Bright Eyes lead-man Conor Oberst to do vocals on «N'en parlons plus.»

Les embarras du quotidien was first released in France (Disques Mange-Tout) and in Japan (Pi-Vine Records) in 2001. The album was released in North America in 2003 through Grenadine Records. Melon Galia toured three times in North America, acquiring the adulation of press and fans alike while stunning those who had the opportunity to witness their stellar live performance.

Melon Galia were Thierry De Brouwer (vocals, guitar, bass, organ, percussions), Aurélie Muller (vocals, bass, groove box, melodica) and Samir Barris (drums, percussions, guitar, backup vocals). During their last North American tour (2003), they were joined by Catherine de Biaso and Ludovic Bouteligier (trumpet).
