Won’t you join me?Ĭaravan Palace is playing Sunday, May 22nd, 8pm, at House of Blues, 15 Lansdowne St., Boston. I’ve never seen one of Caravan Palace’s shows live before. I’m grateful to them many times over for enriching the city. The former is a non-profit organization that regularly exposes the Boston area with international, indie, folk, jazz, and eclectic bands. WORLD MUSIC/CRASHarts has been kind enough to bring them to Boston once again. They engineer for a cool elegance, but they bring their high energy to the hyper “Lone Digger” and swanky “Comics.” Their 1920’s beats are juxtaposed with violin, upright bass, and front woman Zoé Colotis delightful voice. Here, jive is sweetly married to hip-hop and synthesizers. Their most recent album,, (yes, that’s an emoji I’ve seen this album referred to as Robot Face) was created in their Parisian studios. I tell friends they combine swing with the slick, electronic groove of Daft Punk, but that doesn’t really do justice to the percussion-perfect “Dramophone” or the kinetic, tightly wound “Clash.” They’re their own creature and they embrace their disparate influences with pride.
They’re wonderfully difficult to pigeon-hole. They’re the retro-future earworm I’ve longed for, the jitterbug robot brass band perfect for listening to on loop.
Their sound is cheerful and energizing, something that gets me up on hard mornings and cools me off after bad days. They’re strange, science fictional, and sensational.Ĭaravan Palace is my personal ear candy and has been since I first heard “Bambous” off their self-titled 2008 album. Caravan Palace is an energetic, vibrant, French electro-swing monster. Want to see a time traveling big band Sunday, May 22 nd at the House of Blues? Well, one isn’t playing there, but the closest thing to it is.
