Bande à part

by Nouvelle Vague

Bande à part cover art

The French collective continues their highly successful formula of reimagining aggressive post-punk and new wave classics as breezy, acoustic bossa nova covers. Featuring breathy, elegant female vocals, tracks by Joy Division and Bauhaus are transformed into soothing lounge music. It became a ubiquitous soundtrack for upscale cafes and boutiques throughout the late 2000s.
