Caravan Palace: Electro-Swing from France

By ⋅ July 26, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m delighted with the second album from Caravan Palace.

They’re a gypsy jazz group from France and they’ve created one of the most fun sounds this year.

The name of the album is Panic and it’s a great summer album.

“Rock It for Me” is kind-of a rock and roll song, but done in a very French way.

This is just typical of the fun that’s on the album.

    Not rock’n'roll, Tom, pure electronic Cab Calloway!

    Not necessarily Cab Calloway, either.  The lyrics for the song “Clash” were electronically altered samples from the Golden Gate Quartet’s recording of “Shadrack” from 1946.  It is one of my favorite recordings of all time.  Did they credit the original artists on that?  I think it is important to give credit where it is due.
