Nouvelle Vague is a French band fronted by producers Olivier Libaux and Marc Collin. They are best known for their bossa nova-infused covers of post-punk and new wave songs, often featuring a rotating cast of female vocalists. This 2009 album, "3", arrived as their third studio album, following two successful volumes of their deconstructed covers concept.
