bedsitter23It's been a good for music but we don't get on here much to post about it.
Duchess Says is a Montreal band with a long history starting in 2003, with a series of EPs and three studio albums, the most recent one called Sciences Nouvelles.
It's hard not to think of Missing Persons for me, both in terms of vocals and music. Both aspects of the music are strong. Vocalist Annie-Claude Deschenes gets comparisons to Karen O and Poly Styrene, and is certainly well deserving of that mantle. The band is new wave influenced but undeniably modern. It's hard to imagine the band's music without describing it as being filtered through more modern influenceslike Le Tigre and the electroclash trend of band like the Faint and others circa 2001.
Worth checking out though.
