St. Germain – April 13th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

When the doors opened for St. Germain’s show at The Ogden last week, there wasn’t exactly a rush to the stage, in fact it took nearly an hour before there was any kind of crowd. In the early part of 2000’s the music of Ludovic Navarre seemed like it was everywhere but maybe that was just in a small portion of the world, or maybe this is what happens when you don’t release new music for 16 years. That said, the crowd that made it in by the time the band took the stage ate up every minute of the band’s 100 minute performance.

PICK OF THE WEEK: St Germain – Ogden Theatre – Wednesday, April 13th

Estimated read time 2 min read

St Germain (aka Ludovic Navarre), whose albums Boulevard (1995) and Tourist (2000) originated a genre of French electronic music that later included artists like Daft Punk and Air, has returned to the studio to create his first album in 15 years. The self-titled record marries percussive grooves, which have always been central to St Germain’s sound, with a new element: traditional Malian music.
