After over a year of winning audiences with their live performances, Call Me Poupée's debut album has finally arrived. The Montreal duo consisting of Ken Fortrel (ex Breastfeeders) on guitars, keyboards and electronics along with the sex kitten Poupee on vocals and guitars have put together thirteen songs for their first full length "Western Shanghai". With the aid of producer Ramachandra Borcar (aka Ramasutra ) the songs combine Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western soundtracks, 60's spy themes, Yeye, exotica, electro and rockabilly with a touch of Suicide. The icing on the cake of course are the sweet vocals a la Gainsbourg and Bardot sung in both French and English.

Guest musicians include the cream of the crop from Montreal's underground, featuring members of Les Georges Leningrad, Bionic, The Gruesomes, The Kingpins and the brass section from Ram's "Steel and Glass" album.

With the French tradition of storytelling and their cinematic arrangements, Call Me Poupee will bring you to the new west.

Being invaded by the French never felt so good!
