from their up and coming release 3, frenchies Nouvelle Vague enlist the pipes of the king bunnyman himself for a remake of the Bunnymen classic “All My Colours”. McCulloch’s vox add a stunning compliment to the delicate, loungy, bossa nova atmosphere that Nouvelle Vague create so well. we’re digging it, and feel the Vauge are one of the few acts that can actually do the “covers” thing right.
the new album also features tracks by the Sex Pistols, Soft Cell, Talking Heads, The Police and more. other collaborations include Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore, Terry Hall of The Specials and Funboy Three, and Barry Adamson (Magazine, Buzzcocks and Nick Cave to name a few). 3 drops in the U.S. via Peacefrog on Oct. 20.
