Bored by a Hollywood Hills party filled with celebrities and dildos, fate created a chance encounter between Lola G. and James Greer, spawning the band DTCV (pronounced “detective”). Now on their sixth release, the desert-dwelling duo decided to record an album of songs in French. Lola got inspired by listening to Clifton Chenier’s French Zydeco and Brian Jonestown Massacre’s “Musique de film imaginé” and decided to show off her native tongue. Having previously recorded with Greg Ashley (Gris-Gris, King Khan) and Dead Meadow’s Steve Kille, this time DTCV turned to Joel Jerome to work his engineering magic. The result, “Confusion Moderne,” takes a post-punk approach to ’60s French pop, garage and yé-yé, which the band describes as “Françoise Hardy fronting Buzzcocks.” The album comes out in France through La Souterraine in February, but America has to wait until April 8 to get our hands on it, when it will be released through Xemu and Lolipop Records.
