Nouvelle Vague's first album created quite a stir a few years ago with its winning formula of covering post-punk standards the bossa nova way. As the idea is the same on their second production there's much less of a surprise element here but I can't resist to the pleasure of hearing classic tracks like Blue Monday taking some vacations to Brazil.

The perfect soundtrack to your summer cocktail party.
