Cinéma Lumière are one of those bands that makes dreamy indiepop that pretty much everyone can love, that kind with some sort of ringing instrument that sounds like bells (maybe it is bells?). That's a type of quality I usually associate with neo-acoustic bands, but Cinéma Lumière aren't really neo-acoustic; they've got just a hint of shoegaze to themselves in places. Actually, they kind of remind me a bit of Brilliant at Breakfast in that way maybe?
