Cafeine
New Love
On a trip to the epicenter of punk's early days, somewhere between the legendary Lower East Side and East Village, it is there that Cafeïne dons his leather jacket, and revives the spirit of his critically acclaimed album Gisèle with Brit punk, pop and new wave influences to create his new album. The composer, writer and multi instrumentalist allows his energy to overflow into ten explosive tracks, and displays once again his keen sense of melody and musical arrangement. Recorded and mixed by Gus Van Go (The Stills, Priestess, etc.) in Montreal and New York, the album revives the songwriter's punk and pop influences. "This is new love knocking at your door" rings the chorus of the title track, and you could take this quite literally for Montrealer Xavier Cafeine, whose recent move to Los Angeles prompted the US release of New Love.
