Here’s what some people are saying about Le Sex L’Ove

What do you think so far?

Le Sex L’ove

Le Sex L’OveAs if you were willing to learn more about us than anyone needs to know, Les Dupobs gives you the third and title track from our brand new LP Le Sex L’ove for free unfettered download, along with the tantalizing song description below…

Track Three – Le Sex L’ove

country haw, and mixed with untrammeled furore. talking into horns as an introspective, mousy mushroomy smell. rant and rant and pant. sexy love is like that. this is an industrial paean, a minuet for the lobotomized. hayseed textures form an unusual foundation for this pop masterpiece.

Sur la Platte

Sur la PlatteAlong with a textual enhancement/guide below, Les Dupobs gives you the second track from our brand new LP Le Sex L’ove for free unfettered download. C’est gratuit! Et quel amusement! Enjoy!…

a free jazz military exercise. a call to arms in the struggle versus subjugation masked as harmonious communities. these ugly, dirty beings that we are are capable of so much filth, vomit, degradation. freud would tell us to channel, to sublimate these id impulses into art. it seems so alien to the pop paradigm. it should not be so alien. on the plate are so many options, and here we are trampling them all. the finale is intricate but pathetic, masturbatory, spurty. Coltrane with no religion and no skill.

An art without intelligence for idiots without art.

“The only way to a woman’s heart, said the Marquis de Sade, is along the path of torment. Dupobs are reaching the heart of music by the same path.”
– Momus

Le Sex l’Ove is the latest album by DUPOBS to be ignored on an international scale by music journalists of every stripe. While many pay lip service to avant-garde notions (which were probably outdated in the 1920s anyway), most revere the music-making craft thoroughly absent from all DUPOBS releases. Made in about as much time as it takes to listen to, Le Sex l’Ove marks a new direction for the band. The pop-chart failure of the previous album, Drop the Coin, inspired the band to reinvent itself. This reinvention resulted in the recruitment of vocalists Jean Poumpinallard and Patrik Sampler, who bring a Québeçois flavour to Le Sex l’Ove. In addition, a darker sonic atmosphere is achieved, in part with instruments ‘borrowed’ from a gothic-industrial band on a studio break. To this were added some unique touches, such as French horn, and mangled bass guitar (“bass destruction” carried over from the previous album). Standout tracks include the kabuki-inspired Suckle Cuckle, the ultra-commercial La la Defoulement Rectale, and the rhythmically imprecise Sur la Platte. Tai-To-Tuk is a power ballad, Chateau Humple-Crumple is a tale of real-estate speculation, and the title track professes to be a “big hit all around the world”. Indeed. Review this album if you dare.

美学がない人間に向けた馬鹿げた芸術

「マルキ・ド・サドによると、女の心までの道は非常につらい道です。デューポッブズはそのような道を音楽の心の内まで通しています。」
– モマス

最近、最も世界中の音楽批評家に無視されているバンド、それはデューポッブズのアルバム「ル・セックス・ル・オヴ」!革命的な音楽に口先だけの評価を挙げる批評家はデューポッブズの作り出す音楽にはない、単純な技術に目がくらんでいます。試聴者が聞く長さと同じ時間を作曲に費やした「ル・セックス・ル・オヴ」はデューポッブズの新しい方向を示しています。前作の「ドロップ・ザ・コイン」がヒットにならなかった際に、デューポッブスは改名しました。新しい「ジョン・エイチ」と「パトリック・サンプラー」という歌手達はケベック州フランス語の雰囲気を「ル・セックス・ル・オヴ」に持って来ました。スタジオで休憩を取っていたゴシックバンドからいわゆる「借りた」楽器のおかげで、「ル・セックス・ル・オヴ」はかなり暗い雰囲気があります。それに加えて、ユニークな楽器、例えばフレンチホーンと壊れたベースギター、を利用しています。彼らの作り出す様々な素晴らしい曲のなかで、歌舞伎の霊感を受けた「サックル・カックル」、非常に大衆に向けた「ラ・ラ・デフルモン・レクタール」、そしてでたらめなリズムの「スル・ラ・プラット」が特にお勧めです。「タイ・トー・タック」はバラード、「チャトー・ホンプル・クロンプル」は不動産の物語、タイトルトラックは「これが世界中の大ヒットだ!」と宣言しています。そうですね。このアルバムは必ずヒットになりますね。恐れを知らない人しかこのアルバムの批評を書かないでしょう。

but for now – on to the song introductions…


Charred Inflatable Ball

Charred Inflatable Ball Finally Explode In Mouth est un chanson très mysterieux, et une departure des autres travails du dupobs. It starts with a churning stomach and ends with an epileptic rhythm machine that steals the show from the participants. Awkward and lame patriotic gesture is inverted and trampled by its own self-mechanizing processes. We are showing the ugly excess of modern technics and warfare. We give you the start gate stumble of the premiere chanson des Dupobs.


/end track information. The significance of balls in the dupobs imaginary will be revealed tonight at our live show in Vancouver. We’ll post video links afterward, but it’d be lovely if you could come out and see us in the flesh. It’s our first show in a bar.
