05.04.2008 Nouvelle Vague in the A2 Club |
 Nouvelle Vague on stage means a genuine art of performance, the weapon of the singing nymphs is not only voice, but plastique as well. Absolutely everything is applied – beginning with fingertips and ending with the hair ends. The songs are not being sung but, featured. This is the show in the proper sense of it. And as a result the group is on tour, playing one in three of the days. Concerning such solid engrossment, to see them in St. Petersburg, thereto with an interval of just six months, is a huge piece of luck. And what is more, they yeasay to play in A2 their latest music, prepared for the new album recording!
The debut record of Nouvelle Vague instantly attained the rave reviews in press and gave the collective good tour engagements, mainly because the idea of making such group is both simple and brilliant. Two French musicians, the multi-instrumentalists Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux, fondly translated into the language of bossa nova (alias the nouvelle vague or the new wave) the tenebrous rock-classics of the end of the ‘70s and the beginning of the ‘80s. It is musical postmodernism on its face and the original art of XXI century in sum — so far as beautiful and easy it appears to be. The chef-d’oeuvres of Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tuxedomoon, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, P.I.L, The Undertones etc. now play with silk guitar sounds and bubble with rich voices of numerous guest vocalists. There are no less than eight girls, involved in project (six Frenchwomen, one Brazilian and one New York lady). While winnowing them, the producers took care not only of their vocal gift, but also for they did not hear any of the original versions of the songs before recording.
