Peine Perdue: Segment

I've featured Peine Perdue before on the blog, nice to see a new track Segment emerge ahead of the
release of their album.

The band, a duo of Coco Gallo & Stephane Argillet, released the track Cerceaux earlier this year.
They've released a few things before, including last year's No Souvenir album, a collection that rightly saw they receive critical praise.

Their music reminds me of a modern take on transgressive 80s electro from the likes of Chris and Cosey, a post-industrial intersection between sleaze and sophistication.

The new album, entitled Disparitions is expected to be released next month on Medical Records.

They will be touring in May and June.

 

Peine Perdue: Cerceaux

A fine piece of cold electro from Peine Perdue, with a freshly released video for the track Cerceaux.

Their collection No Souvenir from last year was justifiably was critically acclaimed, reaching second place in the round-up of the best of 2014 in France's Noisy - the music channel of Vice - coming just behind Sleaford Mods' Divide and Exit.

Peine Perdue first released a  self-titled release in 2013, featuring eight tracks and a 'cocktail mix' of the track Je Penche. It came out as a cassette on Vocoder Tapes.

They followed  this with the Adieu Staccato six track vinyl release, apparently limited to 222 copies, which also came out in 2013.

Last year saw the release of No Souvenir, featuring a full fourteen tracks.

The video has emerged ahead of the Paris/Berlin duo's latest album, Disparitions, which is due to be released in April on Medical Records.

Before then they play at the New Morning in Paris on January 23.
