Recycling the 1980s sound has been in vogue lately, so it’s no surprise that the producing team known as
Nouvelle Vague would find yet another way to mine the nostalgia for the early ‘80s, post-punk era. They’re doing it
bossa nova style.
The disc opens with a rendition of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." It’s a charming start, and with a breathy
chanteuse on vocals, it’s exactly the kind of sound that has some music critics proclaiming (admittedly with a touch
of sarcasm) that Nouvelle Vague is the ironic dinner music for the new millennium. Unfortunately, this CD is somewhat
less winning as it wears on. "Guns of Brixton" is annoying when done in a loungey mood, and sitting through
"Too Drunk to Fuck" in the wrong company could certainly ruin the amuse bouche. Nevertheless, the entertaining
tracks do outweigh tiresome ones on this release. If this concept sounds like an interesting idea to you, you’re bound
to get a smile from the execution.
