detective is actually supposed to be french, with an accent over the first “e,” and i would try to add one, but cant figure out how. they were named after a godard film of the same title, and are made up of james greer (ex-guided by voices, etc,) guylaine vivara and rory modica who both play in the l.a. band useless keys. theyve released a couple of eps, very fallen world and the forthcoming, basket of masks – which i have been listening to for the past few weeks.
