I got onto Nouvelle Vague through an Optimo mixtape I have, How to Kill the DJ, Part 2. This track comes from a fantastic album full of covers of classic songs done in a Bossa Nova style. Apparently, when recording the album, Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux deliberately chose female vocalists who didn't know the source material well so that the tunes could be reinterpreted in a more interesting way. This track is a Dead Kennedys cover, and I do love my punk, so it's an obvious favourite.
It's nearly impossible to choose any more music from the album because each and every track is worth a listen. Keeping with the punk theme, however, I must draw your attention to Making Plans for Nigel and Guns of Brixton.
