Nouvelle Vague are really shitty. I remember in high school my music teacher playing one of their records to us in class and it was like a lounge cover of 'Too Drunk To Fuck' and I actually thought it was a very sharp parody of terrible ironic hipster music, and then it went on to the next song and it was pretty much the same thing so it turned out that, nope, they really were just terrible ironic hipster music. To be honest I've always thought of their stuff as not even music for films so much as music for people who wish they were living in a film, like they'd put that on in the backround and pretend they were living in a Tarantino movie or something.
Also I hadn't heard of Marine Girls before but they don't really sound like my thing! I kinda liked the second song but even then it just seemed more like something that was pleasant than something I'd actually sit down and listen to. The vocals remind me a bit of the Raincoats, though.

it is kind of a mood thing i guess.  i really like her as a vocalist but idk, sometimes i am in the mood for PASSIVE MUSIC and i think they are good at it.  it is like it serves the purpose of gay lounge music without being gay lounge music.  as in, they do not do awful covers and they have an okay sense of melody and rhythm.  i am liking this subsequent project of hers a lot more.  back to marine girls, though; i think it is uh, not emotive but it kind of EVOKES IDEAS more than most music does for me.  it is similar to nostalgia but not quite.  it is more like they remind me of a SPECIFIC PERIOD and i am not pining for it or anything but it is nice to look back and remember that it happened.  it is like looking at an old photograph and i know this sounds VERY MUCH like nostalgia but it is not!!
