Marquis De Sade – Rue De Siam

Rue de Siam (1981) is the second and final album by French post-punk band Marquis de Sade, a group celebrated for their dark, sophisticated sound that blends post-punk, new wave, and funk. The record is atmospheric and introspective, with themes of urban isolation and existentialism woven throughout tracks like “Rue de Siam,” “Wanda’s Loving Boy,” and “Silent World.” Philippe Pascal’s haunting vocals and Sergeï Papail’s sharp guitar work define the band’s unique style, making this album a cornerstone of French post-punk. For the heads, this is an essential piece of music history. Marquis de Sade disbanded shortly after its release, with Pascal later forming Marc Seberg, another influential act. Their legacy lives on, and Rue de Siam remains a prized gem for fans of experimental and avant-garde sounds.
