Nouvelle Vague – Date With Depeche Mode (LP Vinyl)

Nouvelle Vague built their reputation on the art of elegant subversion, stripping post-punk and new wave classics down to bossa nova bones and rebuilding them with breathy French cool. A full album devoted to Depeche Mode's catalog is a natural fit, placing Mode's dark synth minimalism in the hands of a group that understands how much space a melody can hold when you remove everything unnecessary.
