Nouvelle Vague: M‚lanie Pain, Marina Celestec, Phoebe Killdeer, Marc Collin, Gerald Toto, Olivier Libaux.
Nouvelle Vague proves, on this second album, that their debut collection of bossa nova covers of 1980s MTV hits was not so much a novelty as it was a mission to rescue and reinterpret a cache of great songs. BANDA A PART, from 2006, recreates such classics as Echo and the Bunnymen's "Killing Moon," Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead," and Blondie's "Heart of Glass," in a variety of organic styles that show of new facets of songs listeners may have thought they knew by heart.
