the grilled chicken legs brittany style put second layer through a strange French blender

the grilled chicken legs brittany style’s second layer arrives on 23 June via metadrone records, and the title is apt because this is a covers record that immediately adds another skin to familiar material. The album includes versions of songs by Young Marble Giants, Love and Rockets, My Bloody Valentine, Soucoupes Violentes, Jim Noir, Ty Segall, Django Django, Cocteau Twins, Coronados, The Proper Ornaments, Déportivo, The Velvet Underground and Bauhaus. That is not a casual list. That is a strange little alternative canon thrown into a French electronic punk, no wave, post-punk and synthwave machine. Cover albums work when they do not simply copy the source but expose a new angle inside it. second layer sounds like exactly that: less tribute museum, more slightly unstable laboratory with excellent record shelves.
