Just over a year after the release of its most recent album, the Polaris Prize-longlisted P.O.P, Montreal nu-disco band Le Couleur will return with its recently-announced Underage Remix EP, out Feb 23. Today, ThrdCoast has premiered In Flagranti's "Underage" remix, which you can stream here. Full EP streams are available upon request, and a stream of P.O.P, the album that drastically expanded Le Couleur's fanbase, is available to stream via BrooklynVegan.
The Underage Remix EP arrives as a celebration of Le Couleur's monumental recent successes, starting with that fortuitous Polaris Prize longlisting and moving forward. An early Le Couleur song, "Femme," can be heard in the TBS show Search Party; this appearance shot the song into the millions of streams on Youtube and Spotify. The band exited last year's M for Montreal 2017 to rave reviews of its vibrant, energetic live show; not long after, the band was accepted to play SXSW 2018. It will play three showcases, the details of which will be unveiled soon.
Montreal's most exciting disco-influenced act, Le Couleur, is thrilled to offer fans five new versions of its alluring 2016 track "Underage." The Underage Remix EP will arrive Feb 23, opening with a new version of "Underage" with Francophone vocals replaced by English lyrics from Tim Fletcher (ex-The stills, current member of Megative). French artists Bleu Toucan, Rocky, and French 79, as well as veteran electronic duo In Flagranti contribute remixes; the EP ends with the original track. The new takes on "Underage" remain coherent with the musical universe of Le Couleur; whether nu-disco, electro-house, or indie-dance, the Underage Remix EP will accompany you until spring, when you can catch Le Couleur live. The band has announced showcases during SXSW and live dates in Canada and Europe before the summer.
