Cadavres, Les
Le Bonheur C'est Simple Comme Un Coup De Fil
1992 meant the outbreak of the CD format, and the magnificent album by Les Cadavres has been whisked away without a trace as far as the vinyl version was concerned. A regret we've been carrying around for 17 years. As the band is doing a few gigs in 2009, it was...now or never!!! Les Cadavres's trademark lies on their lyrics, dealing mostly with death, boredom, daily gloominess and depression... not to mention the happiness a consumer's society has in store with each of us. This 2nd album,by the mythical band from the Parisian scene is nothing but a collection of hits like "Ma Tloche" (my TV), No Pasaran, 22, Basta, all of them encapsulating that festive, mushy spirit so typical of the band's name. Possibly the best French punk band from the last 20 years. Gatefold sleeve and blue vinyl.
