To celebrate 20 years as a band, Nouvelle Vague reissue their 2nd album of bossa nova new wave covers, expanded with 9 rare bonus tracks on double vinyl. Original Lab review:
Sophomore studio album from Paris' Nouvelle Vague. Bande A Part was originally released in 2006 and, just like the band's eponymous debut, included bossa nova cover versions of 1980s new wave favorites. The music is easy listening for the modern listener; somewhat kitschy but nowhere near cheesy, with endearing remakes of songs by Buzzcocks, Yazoo, Blondie, New Order, and many more.
- deluxe edition celebrating Nouvelle Vague's 20th anniversary
- black double vinyl pressing
- contains 9 bonus tracks
- remastered audio
- housed in gatefold sleeve
- music label: Le Label 2024
