cd in 2 panels digipack with spot varnish and poster booklet. les fils du calvaire are a francophone trio from the electronic chanson francaises new wave. before adopting their current name 3 years ago, the band was called dop, and already has a solid background in the music production. indeed, les fils du calvaire were also used to being among the best hip hop beatmakers of france providing rappers such as oxmo puccino and composing for mythical jamaican figure (horace andy & johnny osborne). after a first noteworthy single rester avec toi, they are releasing an album in line with the pioneers of the chanson fran�aise, adding a subtle note of humor and derision. jointly created with ash workman (metronomy, christine and the queens), fils de is the perfect balance between french tradition and modernity.
