Zero, Karl
Songs For Cabriolets And Otros Tipos De Veiculos
Initially released in the year 2000, Karl ZEro's first album, a little pop gem, reached cult status. Inside this tribute to extreme cocktail music, space age pop and late Fifties' exotica, audiences discovered thirteen deliciously `vintage' acid drops, cha cha chas and other ritmos locos_ Produced by Karl ZEro and Alexandre Desplat, the album, recorded in Karl's own inimitable, singer/talk-show presenter style, contains a mischievous mix of poetry and humour that takes Henri Salvador, Daisy d'Errata and Eric LaugErias for a ride in the wake of Marino Marini, Xavier Cugat or Mikis Theodorakis. A kind of musical U.F.O., this record adorned one of the most remarkable X-Files episodes and met with international success. Augustin BONDOUX & Patrick FREMEAUX
