Don’t you just love sexy French vocals over chilled electro-beats? Jaime (who looks like the lovechild of Ron Maell and Boris Blank) and the superlovely Patricia of Souvenir made a new album, and they’re serving just that: husky female sighing over robotic music. Travelogues features English and French songs, music-wise it’s a little rougher (colder, if you like) ’round the edges. Lo-fi Italo, if that’s possible. Music for sunglasses at night.
Souvenir – Coup de coeur
Souvenir, our beloved Spanish duo who changed from sweet sighing French pop to full blown sexy French retro-disco, made a new single. It features three songs, including a cover of Wanda Jackson’s Funnel of Love. Aime-moi is the earcatcher, reminiscent of early Vive La Fête, with a big phat bassline. Patricia still has that voice, the kind that makes your spine tingle from top to bottom and back. It’s for sale in all good digital stores, but also on coloured 7-inch vinyl. Go here to buy. And be sure to check out Souvenir’s labelmate Klaus & Kinski, a Spanish band featuring the superlovely Marina.
