Detachments – Holiday Romance

• 15th Sep 2010

Detachments are the London based neo-post punk electronic resistance force led by Sebastien Marshal.

Purveyors of twisted, Machine-Pop Noir built from influences ranging from the cold, industrial sound of Factory Records, pioneering electronic pop from the 1980’s, DFA’s consistently varied output; as well as everything from Kraftwerk to The Cure.

Detachments release brilliant new single “Holiday Romance” on 13th September, complete with remixes from Andy Blake and Cosmo. This will serve as a taster for their debut self-titled album (released 20th September), which is a dark, brooding maelstrom full of existentialist undercurrents and icy electronic undertones.

Director Steve Agnew describes the video as
“What French New Wave cinema visionary Jean-Luc Godard would have made if he was in his 20s, on the dole, by the sea, in England '86.''
