An anglo-franco-brasileiro collective calling itself ‘Nouvelle Vague’ (New Wave in English) just released this week on Luaka Bop/ V2 the self titled ‘Nouvelle Vague’.
Sultry French and Brazilan (?) singers treat us to covers of such 80’s songs as XTC ‘Making Plans for Nigel’, PIL "This is not a love song’ , Cure "A Forest" alongside lesser known gems such as (scots) Joseph K "Sorry for laughing" and a number of other titles originally by The Specials, Joy Division and others…
All the songs have a lazy sunny afternoon, bossa nova/ french pop (say Francoise Hardy) tinged flair. Perfect when the Sky turns blue.
Humour me, Rumour me.
It’s not a Movie, Released this week “Nouvelle Vague’ 80’s Songs with a Bossa Nova flair
