Cause and Effect presents:

Nouvelle Vague - Bande à Part
Today, LJ will be hosting Cause & Effect!
He will be wading through the career of the high concept project that is Nouvelle Vague!
Nouvelle Vague is, or was, a French group led by Olivier Libaux and Marc Collin. Unfortunately, Olivier Libaux died back in September at the age of 57 and it’s uncertain if the project is going to continue without him.
DJ Albert Green covered Nouvelle Vague on this show back in 2020, but LJ wanted to put his own spin on them. And, with the recent passing of Libaux, it seems like a good time.
