BB Brunes premier EP en anglais was released on November 15th and if you listen to the extracts on their album preview page – after listening to the really rather good sounding acoustic version of Battle Lost and Won – you will notice that track four So far so long is in fact Lalalove you from their current album Nico Teen Love, their deuxième album en français.
Only the music is shared however, the English lyrics have been rewritten and have no link to the original track.
I’ve not heard this new album yet because as far as I can tell there is no where to buy it on MP3 online and I’m long past wishing to build up a physical CD collection, let alone a vinyl collection, which is another format option availble in the BB Brunes store.
Here is the translation of the track Lalalove You from Nico Teen Love.
