An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and aim to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris, Kid Loco has an regular stronger kinship with the recollective tradition of French pop characterized by Serge Gainsbourg. Otherwise known as Jean-Yves Prieur, he began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in various French punk groups during the early '80s. He touched on to production as well by the end of the decennium, and stirred on to reggae and hip-hop with a band named Mega Reefer Scratch. By 1996, Prieur had reinforced his own studio, christened himself Kid Loco and released the Blues Project EP for Yellow Productions. The uncut A Grand Love Story appeared one year later, earning kudos from many in the indie-rock and electronica community. A remix album was released in 1998. Prieur as well accompanied St. Etienne's Sarah Cracknell for a rendering of "The Man I Love" from the Gershwin testimonial Red Hot + Rhapsody, and has remixed Stereolab, Pulp, Mogwai, the High Llamas, Dimitri from Paris and Talvin Singh. The reconfigured Prelude to a Grand Love Story appeared in 1999 as Loco's US uncut debut, and the remix record album Christ Life for Children Under 12 Inches followed afterward that same twelvemonth. Kid Loco touched up to the major league with his second full-length, 2001's Kill Your Darlings.
