One of 2014's best albums, the debut full-length by Minneapolis-based producer Peter Runge was a caustic mutation of the U.K. grime scene's heavy bass and jagged beats, causing those elements to collapse on top of themselves. Harsh and battering, this intense, uncompromising album nevertheless had a soft heart beating underneath its armor-like layers of pulverizing distortion. Tri Angle had a pretty great 2015 with astonishing releases by Rabit and Lotic, but That's Harakiri is still a watershed moment for whatever you want to call this brand of contorted neo-grime.

The composer, arranger and producer moves beyond his reputation as the enfant terrible modern indie chanson with this beautifully imagined, impeccably arranged tribute to the iconic singer and songwriter Charles Trenet. He executes these covers with refined taste and restraint, wry humor and organic sensuality. Vanessa Paradis makes a pair of fine duet appearances on "Ja'ia Ta Main," and "La Romance de Paris."
