In case you missed it: Spanish duo Souvenir have a new album out called 64. It's more synth-y and rock-y than their previous work, but they never lost that pop feeling. Accident à Londres has that eighties-vibe, think Italo, think Corey Hart, think Lio, with a phat 4x4-beat. Acci-dance, anyone?
The Canadian cousins of Souvenir are ofcourse Richard Citroen and Françoise Hart, aka the lovely duo Lola Dutronic. Just like Souvenir they just released a new album, with slightly more electronics (thus eighties-vibe) than on their debut. It features original songs, and covers (like The Model by Kraftwerk in French, check their MySpace). They redid their version of Sylvie Vartan's nostalgic Hungary-tribute La Maritza, and turned it into a cross between a Portishead-torchsong and a cheesy floorfiller. Well done.
Souvenir - Accident à Londres
Lola Dutronic - La Maritza 3000
Sylvie Vartan - La Maritza
