marquis de sade

i've been getting into this french new wave/post-punk record. it's by a band called marquis de sade. it's mostly dark and urgent-sounding guitar and saxophone stuff. when you think about sax in a rock context, you probably imagine men at work or huey lewis and the news. this sounds nothing like that!! it's closer to television or early cure. weird that they have a myspace page. the lp is rue de siam. 1981. CBH/EMI.

listen to marquis de sade "back to cruelty"
