Acclaimed London based folk-noir duo La Nouvelle Musique have today released their self-titled debut album, via Fruits de Mer.

Made up of husband-and-wife Joanna Beck and Ian de Silva, the baroque orchestration on some of the pair’s songs also reflects a big screen aesthetic. Singer/Bass Player – Joanna is also a composer and performance artist who creates electro acoustic music, sonic art, and has scored for theatre and film.

As if to emphasise this, and alongside the release of the album, the pair have released their cinematic new single “Spirit Level.”

Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, the pair say:

“It’s a song about the passing of time and the difficulty many people face day to day just to keep their emotional equilibrium. It’s also about the beauty of nature and how if we sometimes take a moment to focus on it, it can give us a sense of perspective and peace.”

The album was released on vinyl on June 30th via Fruits de Mer to much acclaim, and finally gets a digital release today.

I have an unhealthy obsession with bad horror movies, the song Wanted Dead Or Alive and crap British game shows. I do this not because of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle it affords me but more because it gives me an excuse to listen to bands that sound like hippos mating.
