French exclusive version of the trip hop artist's 1997 debut album, featuring a bonus disc of remixes. Described as 'an irresistible romp through the light-hearted, pastoral side of trip-hop by way of orchestral-pop paragons like Bacharach, Gainsbourg and Love.' Featuring the vocals of the Pastels' Katrina Mitchell. In "A Grand Love Story," producer Kid Loco (real name: Jean Yves Prieur) has created the perfect downtempo album. His French trip-hop is laid-back and airy, but much warmer and sunnier than most such albums. Things get a bit odd in the middle, but it's never boring and never too strange.
2009 release from the French Trip Hop artist, a collection of the Kid's tracks remixed by some of Electronica's finest artists including Saint Etienne, Howie B and Dimitri From Paris. For over a decade, Kid Loco has taken Trip Hop to new levels of sound and style. This compilation pushes the Kid's sound into new and exciting places. 14 tracks.
It’s been a decade since we last heard from Marnie Stern, and in her absence, the indie music world has become overrun with an army of anti-Marnies i.e. corporate clones making banal playlist rock lacking in the whimsy, creativity, and virtuosity that made Stern’s take on rock music such a singular sound in the late 2000s. But when Stern’s guitar bursts in like a shower of stardust on The Comeback Kid, her long-awaited follow-up to 2013’s The Chronicles of Marnia, it’s like no time has passed. Marnie Stern is back—and not a moment too soon.
