L'Épée, "Lou"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in Berlin 2019 for L'Épée's "Lou", from their only LP thus far, titled "Diabolique", which was released in September 2019...

"L'Epee means "The Sword" in French and may be best described as an alternative 21st Century Super Group with 1960s influences. What was planned as a solo record for actress Emmanuelle Seigner somehow became a band? Based on its sound, I assume "Lou" is about Mr Reed, but not speaking French I have no idea what is being sung. It was brought to my attention late last year by Manchester's Dave Bennett, and now I've given it a test spin in Paris, I can definitely say "I Dig It !" - KV
