“Clash” - Caravan Palace
This French electro-swing/gypsy jazz band became a group when three of its members were hired in 2005 to score soundtracks for silent pornographic films. Eventually, it grew in size after searching for more members via MySpace, built a following through live performances and gigs as well as Internet releases, and simply swung it all out.
Electro-swing is a fusion genre drawing inspiration from swing and jazz music (often from the 1930s) and adding dimension from influences such as house, lounge, and hip-hop. The result is a positively fantastic, swanky sound!
Caravan Palace, along with Austrian artist Parov Stelar, are considered leaders of the electro-swing genre. Listen to this track, jitterbug or tecktonik or shuffle yourself mad to it as you please, and I think you’ll know why.
(Note: Caravan Palace’s “Clash” EP is not yet available in most US-online stores, but you can often find them in the French ones.)
