J’aime le post-punque
If you’ve been wondering what Tuxedomoon, Depeche Mode, The Cure, PiL, The Dead Kennedys, XTC and The Undertones would sound like as Brazilian music, boy have I got the album for you. And you’re a very strange person to be wondering about that.
Two guys get together and decide to do bossa-nova covers of 80s songs. Sure. But the corker is getting a bunch of elegant young French chanteuses to go all up on it.
It’s a happy marriage. The covers work, nicely playing up the emotional depth of the original tunes, and to judge by the photographs it looks like the guys get to have a lot of fun. Everybody wins.
