I nearly choked on my sandwich earlier today when reading the news that Rumsfeld resigned and the Dems won Montana. Elated (see picture above), I half-yelled in excitement until a piece of tofurkey became lodged in my throat. Fortunately, a couple of quick coughs cleared the obstruction. I had Klanguage blasting on my headphones and I realized I yelled louder than I thought, causing a bit of a scene. I regained some composure and continued reading the rest of the story in joyous disbelief.
Now that Rumsfeld quit, maybe he can get a “fresh perspective” on one of France’s best exports, Klanguage. Denying all things French for the last four years couldn’t have been too good for his music collection and our “pal” may not know that the country has become a hotbed of emerging electronic acts.
Klanguage is one of these acts, a three-piece electro-pop outfit comprised of DJ and producer P-A Busson (aka Yuksek), vocalist Marianne Elise, and Clément Daquin. Their self-titled 14-track debut was released on Rise Recordings in late September and can be purchased/downloaded here. It will also be available via iTunes soon according to the band’s site, which is currently under construction. Check out a couple tracks below. Highly recommended!
