The Young Gods – La Fille De La Mor

Here’s a band I use to skateboard too back in the day called “The Young Gods”.   The Young Gods are a swiss industrail band that formed back in 1987.   “The band’s lineup has generally consisted of a vocalist, a sampler operator and a drummer. Their instrumentation often includes sampled electric guitars, drums, keyboards, and other samples. The lyrics are a mix of English, French and a bit of German.” (taken from Wiki)

My favorite track from them is “La Fille De La Mort” (aka, Daughter of Death), which has orchestral loops, accordions, and ruff french vocals (think a french Tom Waits).   This track is taken from their second album “L’Eau Rouge”, from 1989.
