Oui Oui - Chacun tout le Monde (1989)



WHAT i THiNK

Oui Oui formed in the early 1980's when guitarist and singer Étienne Charry and drummer Michel Gondry met at art school. Their first album however was not released until 1989, and the music is a reaction against the political post-punk, or "cold-wave" as they called it in France, bands of the era. They tried to create music that would be fun, enjoyable and certainly not political.
As they are from France the lyrics are in french (duh), but that doesn't really matter, the music is great. So are their music videos, which can be seen on Michel Gondrys DVD.
Other work by Michel Gondry includes; that White Stripes video made with Lego, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep and Be Kind Rewind.
