Given the concept of the Nouvelle Vague project and its obvious filiation with its cinematic counterpart, it's hardly surprising that the group's second album is entitled 'Bande à Part' (a direct reference to Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 film, considered one of the first works of the new wave and a precursor in the cinematic field, even inspiring Quentin Tarantino to name his own production company, A Band Apart). More eclectic than its predecessor, 'Bande à Part' draws its references from pre-electro (Bauhaus and its famous 'Bela Lugosi's Dead', New Order), post-punk (Buzzcocks) and eighties pop (Billy Idol). To mark the band's 20th anniversary, we're proud to announce the reissue of this unique project album, which reappropriates songs from the punk and post-punk repertoire in the form of electro, bossa nova or folk. Enriched with numerous bonus tracks, some of which have never been released before.
