NOUVELLE VAGUE
+ GABRIELLA CILMI
So, two well seasoned, multi-instrumentalist producers form the musical collective Nouvelle Vague as a vessel to wed the two unlikely worlds of new wave and bossa nova, through playing cover versions of old songs. Nouvelle Vague is an appreciation society of the classic post-punk period between late 1978 and mid 1981 – a time of faux experimentalism, dark moods and grey musical austerity that raged against pretty much everything. These Joy Division, PiL, Buzzcocks and New Order songs are carefully and lovingly arranged in the sixies bossa nova style (bossa nova means “new beat” or “new wave” in Portugese). These songs are beautifully transformed, relaxed and breathed new life into by six heavenly, sultry chanteuses from all over the world. These guest vocalists sex up everyone from XTC and Modern English to The Clash and The Undertones, and each vocalist performs songs they are not previously familiar with to ensure each cover has its own unique quality. Producers Marc Collins, Oliver Libaux, and their honey-voiced accomplices have achieved nothing short of jaw dropping music that is completely recognizable and true to its original meaning, with just a bit more ..swoon... www.nouvellesvagues.com www.myspace.com/nouvellevague
