We’ve become fans of French-Cana­di­an band Choses Sauvages with their upbeat brand of dance-punk. Their sin­gle called ‘En joue’ caught our atten­tion last year. Now a new track just released called Cours Tou­jours offers anoth­er glimpse into the Fran­coph­o­ne band’s sound. There’s a touch of Steely Dan to the open­ing notes before the track breaks into a com­pul­sive­ly dance­able track with a funky groove and a dri­ving bassline.

The band’s front man Félix Bélisle explains the song is ‘a new wave-inspired track about self-reflec­tion. It feels as if one iden­ti­fies a prob­lem at the core of their being with­out being able to explain it.’

The band’s next album, enti­tled Choses Sauvages III, is set to be released via Audio­gram on 28th March. Their sound has won them praise aplen­ty in their home coun­try of Cana­da, as well as a rep­u­ta­tion for their explo­sive live performances.
