Yelle: Ba$$in

A new clip by the always effervescent Yelle, with the track Ba$$in.

It's the second single to be taken from their Complètement fou album, released in September last year.

It's a suitably over the top pop art video, with the kind of craziness others could only dream of.

Perhaps the English subtitles are a nod towards the anglophone market. It would be fascinating to see tham make inroads outside France. they're no strangers to playing in teh UK and USA, having played Coachella and supported Katy Perry on tour.

Julie Budet certainly deserves to be better known outside France.

Yelle have festival dates over the summer, with shows at Solidays and Le Rock Dans Tous Ses Etats Festivals, as well as shows in New York and Florida.

Yelle play at the Casino de Paris on October 10.

Yelle: Moteur Action (remix by Sophie and A. G. Cook )

A remix of a track by Yelle from last year's Complètement Fou album.

This version of Moteur Action is re-constructed by Sophie and A. G. Cook into a seriously explosive piece.

Yelle say that "Sopie and A.G. Cook bring ‘Moteur Action’ to the future." Not that the original was in any way too dated or anything.

Yelle play in London later this week and play Paris on March 11, before embarking on shows in North America including the Coachella festival in California.

Yelle: Complètement Fou

The new clip has emerged for the track Complètement Fou by Yelle.

The French electropop trio are set to release the follow-up to their 2011 Disco Safari Club album at the end of this month, and the new track shows that they've certainly been keeping up with things.

The years since might have only seen a handful of releases, but they've been touring - with Katy Perry amongst others - and DJing extensively.

Safari Disco Club was their second album, a follow up to their 2007 debut Pop Up. The band, a trio of GrandMarinier (Jean-Francois Perrier), Tepr (Tanguy Destable) and Yelle (Julie Budet) initially found success with songs like Je Veux Te Voir and A cause des garçons.

The track Bouquet Final emerged over the summer in anticipation of the new album.

Needless to say, the video's an appropriately colourful and visually provocative affair, with giant corn cobs, vogueing and the kind of visuals that feel like an over the top  21st century take on a late 80s dance video.

The band have a number of live dates in support of their album, and play in London on December 2 and Paris on December 16.
