Audio: Petite Noir 'Till We Ghosts/The Dance'


Petite Noir is the solo project of South African Yannick Ilunga, lead singer of Cape Town electropop outfit Popskarr and member of The Capital of Cool collective. "Till We Ghosts/The Dance," the first single off his upcoming EP, couples dark electronic tendencies with bursts of jangly guitars and tribal percussion creating a sound Petite Noir self-dubs "noir wave."  Stream and grab it below.
