Criminally Ecclectic: 80's French New-Wavers, The Honeymoon Killers
In the 80's, The Honeymoon Killers, named after the 1970 film, created music as if it were intended for some perverse French noir-sex-thriller-comedy. Have a listen and you'll hear an ever-mutating sound collage of so many things that came before it. Compare the saucey dance groove and seductive vocals of "Histoire a Suivre" and the cutesy, off-kilter electro of "Decollage" and you'll get a taste of the band's range. Other songs in their catalog, like the Serge Gainsbourg inspired "Route Nationale," add even more eclecticism to their sound. Check out this awesome live clip from 1983, as they perform "Histoire À Suivre:"
