Nouvelle Vague’s Bande A’ Part moves musically between Jamaica to the Calypso Isle of Trinidad via Cuban salsa, Haitian voodoo and eventually back to the Brazilian coast. The arrangements and orchestrations are very colorful – a lot of percussion and acoustic guitars topped off with sensual feminine voices, accordions and steel drums. Nouvelle Vague also covers songs by ‘80s groups Yazoo, Visage and New Order on this release. In other words, think of the type of songs that are typically set in the Caribbean between 1940 and 1970, and imagine a young Jamaican with his acoustic guitar singing Blondie’s Heart Of Glass in his Kingston township and now you can envision what the overall sound of this album is like.
