Nouvelle Vague

Bande A Part Nouvelle Vague Limited edition

European edition includes a different tracklisting to both the US standard and limited edition pressing! This 14-track import features three tracks not featured on either of the US pressings, 'Human Fly' (originally by The Cramps), 'Escape Myself' (The Sound) and 'Waves' (Blancmange). Sophomore album, following 2004's self-titled release, from French duo who cover 80s new wave and new romantic songs ina loungecore/tropicalia style. Self-consciously arty and ironic - their name references the 60s French "new wave" of cinema and the album is named for the cult film ('Band Of Outsiders') by Jean-Luc Godard - their gimmick has nonetheless made them one of the Peacefrog label's biggest sellers. Other highlights include, 'The Killing Moon' (Echo and the Bunnymen), 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' (Bauhaus), 'Blue Monday' (New Order) and many more! Peacefrog. 2006.
