L'Affaire Louis' Trio (L'ALT for short) were an art pop band from Lyon, France.
In 1987, L'Affaire Louis' Trio were awarded the prize for best newcomers at France's Victoires de la Musique ceremony.
[3] Since then, the band was dissolved, but Hubert Mounier recorded with drummer Lebleu on his first two solo releases, Le Grand Huit (2001) and Voyager léger (2005).
Their initial recordings relied heavily on contributions from some of France's top jazz musicians,[1] however, the band's sound was continually refined over the years, with Europium (1997), their last album, offering their most stripped down, guitar-centric arrangements.
L'ALT worked with notable musicians and videomakers, including XTC bassist Colin Moulding on L'Homme aux mille vies (1995) and Michel Gondry on the video for "Il y a ceux" (1989).
