Montreal’s Duchess Says finally come out with their debut full length, ‘Anthologie des 3 Perchoirs’, out on highly-acclaimed Alien 8 Recordings (also home to acts as diverse as Japanoise terrorist Merzbow and psych/prog rockers Acid Mothers Temple).
‘Anthologie des 3 Perchoirs’ is an energetic and frantic beast of an album that at once will force you to go crazy (on the dancefloor or on any surface for that matter). Tracks like ‘Rabies (Baby’s Got The)’ and ‘Melon’ are pure rock & roll mayhem, whereas tracks like ‘La Friche’ and ‘A Century Old’ are more in the psych-rock-freak-out sorta vein.
Coming from personal experience, Duchess Says are amazing live, and with this release, they manage to achieve that level of energy. Highly recommended.
For fans of Les Georges Leningrad, Erase Errata, & The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Here are two tracks taken from ‘Anthologie des 3 Perchoirs’ (also featured on their ‘Budgie Laboratories’ ep)…

How many more Crystal Castles clones are we going to see?
This is nothing special…
@ Anonymous-
Before Crystal Castles got big from Myspace & blogs, I was rockin’ Duchess Says…and ‘CLONES’???!?!?
They don’t even sound the same!!
I’ve seen both Crystal Castles (this year) and Duchess Says (almost 2 years ago) and their sound/setup is not even close to being identical/alike.
i’m gonna have to agree w/ basura on this one…how the “F” ‘anonymous’ came up with that statement i will never know.
he/she never even explained WHY he/she thought duchess sounds like CC.
oh wait…maybe ‘anonymous’ is just a troll - that’d make a lot more sense.
eh…I saw DS about 3 years ago at Liars Club, they sound nothing at all like crystal castles and “Anonymous” clearly jumped on the whole ‘Crystal Castles started everything’ bandwagon a little too late to make any kind of significant impact/
REVISE.

WTF thats some stupid shit.
Even if they were inspired by crystal castles I wouldnt mind but this is a totally different style.

Lovin it! Although I might have liked the remix more if you sped it up just a tad Basura. Still I like how that sound goes high pitch in the beginning. Makes me wannna learn how to do remixes
that bass line reminds me of TNMT.
i mean teenage mutant ninja turtles
I LOVE Montreallllllllllll!
