The French combo is angling towards a big US tour in 2016.Ĭaravan Palace was kind enough to curate for us a list of its favorite electronic tracks, which helped inform the sound of the latest album.
The band has blended these diverse influences to create yet another masterpiece, with this year's Le Plan Recordings release,, which is a towering, 11-track triumph (just out in the middle of last month) that pushes the outfit's sound more towards the electro side of electro-jazz. The French electro-swing big band has culled influences as diverse as Cab Calloway and Daft Punk into a sonic stew packed with contemporary electronic techniques, but with a rich musical history that gives a nod to greats like France's own gypsy jazz legend Django Reinhardt. Caravan Palace has come a long way since it was brought together to score a long-lost silent porn flick nearly a decade a ago.
