Montreal-based band Choses Sauvages has released their third self-titled album, which has been well-received. The band's live performance at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh has also garnered attention, showcasing their energetic stage presence.
The venue, with a capacity of 100, allowed for an intimate experience. The band's nine-song set drew from punk, post-punk, dance, and electronica influences. Frontman Félix Bélisle's engaging performance, including interactions with the crowd, was a highlight.
The band's sound evokes the era of 1977-1984, as well as the second wave of post-punk, with influences from bands like The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem. The set concluded with the non-album track 'L'or Et L'argent'. The performance was highly praised, with one attendee calling it one of the best they'd seen in a decade.
