This record is the perfect Hipster item: Garçons are the follow-up project of a French new wave group called “Marie et les Garçons” which was produced by John Cale. In 1979, after drummer Marie had quit the band, the rest of the guys started a disco project in collaboration with Michael Zilkha and Michel Esteban, the founders of the New-York-based post-punk/no-wave record label ZE Records. The awesome result of this collaboration was the mini-album “Divorces”, which got kind of forgotten in the following years and isn’t available anymore (except for the two YouTube uploads below). The only place on the internet I could find the complete record to is a semi-legal MP3 shop called vinylmp3.net which sells ripped versions of rare records (cheap, but the quality is rather moderate).

thank you!!
This is my favorite band from all of France and it’s such a good album, my favorite record of disco ever. I only own the CD reissue. I actually recommended it to this guy who took me barhopping who kept claiming he was in with Andy Warhol back in the day here in NY. He’d never heard of it.
