For their fourth album of brilliantly reimagined post-punk-pop, the French supergroup Nouvelle Vague has turned its sights away from the UK and US to instead look inward. The inspired result is a collaboration between two generations of chart heroes, with France’s top artists of today (such as Vanessa Paradis, Soko and Camille) covering the best of the country’s pop hits from the golden 1980s age.

Although we often speak of the British and American golden age of post-punk from 78 to 84, with artists that included Talking Heads, Joy Division, PIL and Devo, France (together with Switzerland and Belgium) joined the movement too.

Now Nouvelle Vague pays tribute to this sumptuous “Frenchy” period clothed in the nihilism of punk, along with bitterness fuelled by the economic crisis and, paradoxically, the bewitching spirit of pop. Its title, Couleurs sur Paris (Colours on Paris) is based on both a famous postcard collection and Oberkampf’s 1981 punk anthem, and reflects the period, which oscillated between elation and despair.

Rezensionen

,,Aufreizend lässiger New-Wave-Pop." (stereoplay, 01 / 2011)

,,Mit charmanter Unterstützung ebenso vieler Gastsänger wie Vanessa Paradis (,,Week-end A Rome"), Soko (,,Sandy Sandy") und Charlie Winston (,,So Young But So Cold") verleihen sie den Songs eine aparte, auf reizende Lässigkeit." (audio, 01 / 2011)

,,Die Franzosen covern wieder, diesmal französischen New Wave, und erinnern damit an eine oft vergessene sehr kreative Periode französischen Musikschaffens." (musikexpress, 02 / 2011)
