Division Kent


"A fictional trip through a reality-scape melding cinematic moods and the stardust of pop culture. Moments before they blur from the urge to be everywhere and nowhere – sometimes 'upbeat', sometimes 'zen', but always completely lucid." Well, yes, you could say that. You could also say that L'Heure Bleue, from the upcoming second album Gravity by Swiss dance-wave duo Division Kent, is how LCD Soundsystem would sound if played by French maids. Singer Andrea B. has a sexyhusky voice (she would look great in a French maid uniform, no doubt) there's a discobeat, there's guitars and there's sweet pleasure in the air. Think Vive La Fête, think Curve, think gothic-Kylie, think electronicagainsbourg. Why, Lord, why is this the only French song on their album?

  1. What a coincidence! Ha, I left a message in your "Friday Bridge" post, remarking a similiarity between them and Division Kent. Ridiculously, you didn't accept it, and now, I see you writing about DK. Mate, this is just kindergarden...

  2. C'est en surfant sur des blogs analogues à celui-ci qu'on se dit : "si j'avais su !" et bien j'aurais travaillé davantage mon anglais.
