  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Minimal Wave is proud to present a full-length LP by French duo Deux. Gérard Pelletier and Cati Tete formed Deux after meeting in Lyon in 1981. Their music can be described as minimal synth with stripped-down rhythm compositions and suitably cold duets. Their influences are a perfect blend of Kraftwerk and French synthpop. Between 1983 and 1992, they released a cassette and several rare singles : Felicita / Game & Performance and Europe / Paris / Orly. They also appeared on the V/A BIPP LP (2006) and most recently on V/A The Minimal Wave Tapes: Vol 1 LP. The album features newly remastered demo tracks as well as their best studio recordings. This LP is a hand-numbered limited third edition, pressed on 180-gram black vinyl, housed in a heavy matte jacket lined in pale pink with an innersleeve of printed black and white photographs of Gérard and Cati. R.I.P. Gérard Pelletier (1952-2013).

about

Deux France

Deux was formed in Lyon in 1981 by Gérard Pelletier and Cati Tête. Gérard was inspired by Kraftwerk and after spending some time in Germany and purchasing a synthesizer in Strasbourg, he returned to France to work in Lyon. He practiced music with his friends every Saturday. Gérard says, “one day, I met Cati and I spoke with that magical girl about music the entire night. Deux was born." ... more
