In 2004 Nouvelle Vague’s self titled debut album swept around the planet like a welcome cool breeze, as it’s unique blend of new wave and bossa nova tickled just about everyone‚s fancy. And I’m sure you‚re as pleased as I am, that the second instalment ‘Bande A Part’ has arrived. You know what Nouvelle vague do, if you don’t then take your head out of your arse. Artists & songs lovingly covered and given a new lease of life include Echo & The Bunny men ‘The Killing Moon’, The Buzzcocks ‘Ever Fallen In Love’, Yazoo ‘Don’t Go’, Billy Idol ‘Dancing With Myself’, Blondie ‘Heart Of Glass’, New Order ‘Blue Monday’, The Cramps ‘Human Fly’, Bauhaus ‘Bela La Gugosi’s Dead, Heaven 17 ‘Let Me Go’ & Visage ‘Fade To Grey’. Now you know what to do, summer 2006 wouldn’t be complete without it.
