D.Stop & The Missing Görl



Anyone after some nihilistic 80s DIY synth punk from France? Here's Görl by D.Stop.


I love how basic this is, how singular in its goal it is. Minimal electronic music always wins out for me, whether it's punky like D.Stop or disco like Metro Area. The longer I live, the more I realise what I love.

Nouvelles Du Front is D.Stop's only album. You can hear all 13 minutes on YouTube. However I think it's missing Görl. It should be on there according to Discogs. Another coldwave mystery.

Here's the band performing it in 1983 for French TV, while looking pretty French...

Bonne nuit.
