Nouvelle Vague do New Wave in a Bossa Nova style. New Wave, Nouvelle Vague, Bossa Nova, get it? When translated they all mean literally the same thing, but this project unifies their other meanings into a sexy, swinging whole. Unsettling it may be, but it makes for compelling listening. A post-modern revolution, or just Jose Feliciano for the '00s?
