Camino del sol

Produced by John Foxx, this charmingly peculiar debut perfectly merges the cold, synthesized electronics of the early 80s with breezy Brazilian bossa nova. The French trio created a uniquely retro-futuristic tropical atmosphere heavily indebted to classic 1960s lounge aesthetics. It has since become a massively influential touchstone for independent acts exploring the intersections of dream pop and minimal synth music.
