- The genre-bending French trio will release their first album on Circus Company this October.
French house outfit dOP are set to release their debut album this fall on Circus Company.
In characteristically cheeky fashion, the album is called Greatest Hits, though all but two of the tracks are previously unreleased. Stylistically, the album shows dOP doing what they do best: melding electronic sounds and live instrumentation to produce a jazzy, cabaret-inspired brand of house. The trio make use of an impressive array of instruments, including the painino, cajon, cuica, melodica and Chinese flute, while vocalist JAW croons lines such lines as "I eat your legs like scrambled eggs" in his trademark breathy falsetto. Guest appearances come from French producer Seuil and Aquarius Caloni, who first debuted on dOP's edition of the Watergate series earlier this year. Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts shows off his balafon skills on "Assurance Vie," portions of which came from sessions for his own album, Breaking the Fourth Wall, on which dOP guested.
Greatest Hits will see release on CD and digital download. It will be accompanied by a series of three 12-inches, each featuring tracks from the album alongside remixes by Herbert, Ame and DJ Koze.
