Even though the French have a reputation for being passionate and romantic, they can also pull off aloof pretty well too. So it should come as no surprise that
YACHT's cover of the 1969
Brigitte Fontaine number "Le Goudron" sounds like the missing link between Krautrock and
Kraftwerk. There's a stilted pseudo-rap thing going on that recalls Austrian
Falco more than it does
Serge Gainsbourg or even
Air, but the naive incompetence is half the charm, I guess. You're mostly in this for the beat anyway.
