Marina Celeste came to fame as one of the vocalists on the Nouvelle Vague covers project. Japanese fans were so taken with Celeste's voice that they bankrolled Acidule, a summery album that sounds anything but "acidic." The music goes deeper into the lounge-tronica sound of Nouvelle Vague and can easily be used as a portal to an aural vacation. That said, while the first few listens can paint Miss Celeste as a surface dweller gliding across her songs, repeated airings bring out a bite and depth in such tracks as "Le Temps Elastique" and the more upbeat "Mon Centre de Gravite."
