Geins’t Naït + Laurent Petitgand ~ Je vous dis

When the work of a decades-old recording act still sounds potent, we know that we are in the presence of talent.  The post-industrial sounds of Geins’t Naït are balanced here by the modern composition of Laurent Petitgand, to this date best known for his
