Five Favorite Martin Dupont Albums
(Martin Dupont are a French minimalist synth pop band whose songs are seasoned with guitar and clarinet and sung by both male and female vocalists. They were active in the 1980s, then dormant, but have recently reformed after a long recording gap. For a sense of what they sound like, I recommend visiting their Bandcamp page or listening to this episode of the “Every Album Ever” podcast. I’ve arranged the five albums below in order of personal preference.)
Hot Paradox (1987)
Just Because… (1984)
Kintsugi (2023)
Sleep Is a Luxury (1985)
Inédits 81-83 (1985)
