Nouvelle Vague - Bande a Part

In 2005, the French duo's eponymous debut introduced their singular take on post-punk nuggets by the likes of Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tuxedo Moon, and the Undertones, recasting them as svelte, sophisticated bossa nova-inflected chansons. This follow-up is a beguiling, retro-futurist odyssey, containing covers of Echo & the Bunnymen, the Buzzcocks, Lords of the New Church, Billy Idol, U2, Blondie, New Order, the Cramps, Bauhaus, the Smiths, and more. "... a beautiful, melancholy exercise in deconstructing familiar songs and reassembling trace amounts of the melodies into fresh music" - Boston Globe. "Fresh (and refreshing) takes on these classics... The songs are so wildly different in their dreamy form that they stand on their own" - Flaunt.
