Following on from yesterdays post, time to revisit NV.
Reading the playlist on this their first album, in fact any of their releases, may have you squirming.
Prepare to be seduced by their skilful blending of 80′s New Wave/Lounge/Bossa Nova.
Any band that has the balls to start an album with a cover version of Love Will Tear Us Apart, and makes it work has my respect.

Released this month is this gem of an album. Miles away from the fun and frolics of her Nouvelle Vague involvement, this is more sultry/upbeat Waits. Nice and dark in places, but upbeat to.
