Lescop released his cooly understated debut album via Pop Noire in the UK in June 2013, with his sleek mix of no wave disco and post punk fast gaining the adoration of The Quietus, Time Out and The Fly. Naturally, Lescop already had a credible reputation amongst savvy music lovers in his homeland, with ‘Lescop’ provoking a smattering of critical applause from the likes of Les Inrockuptibles, Libération, Tsugi and Wonderland Magazine. Not discounting exclusive support from Hedi Slimane, who shot the album cover, and the mighty Phoenix, who have tipped Lescop of late.
Watch the video for album standout, ‘La Nuit Américaine’, as hailed by The Quietus as one of their tracks of 2013. This clip was directed by Sylvie Verheyde and is an extended cinematic exploration of the track, based on an idea by Lescop: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezeyIGnKIKY
