'Music Kills Me' is the second album from French duo, Rinocerose. A mix of easy listening and modern electronica, the Rinocerose sound has a distinctly French feel, and is influenced by various artists, from Serge Gainsbourg to 808 State. The single 'Lost Love' is also included.|

ギターをメインに、ハウス、ロック、ジャズ、ソウル、ラテン、ラウンジまでを採り入れた独創的なダンス・ミュージックを繰り広げつつ、なぜか心理学者の顔を持つメンバーもいるという、フランスの異色ユニット、ライノセラス。セオリーを打ち破るアウトサイダーとして、またメインの2人→10人以上にまで膨れ上がるライヴ・パフォーマンスも注目を浴びている。アンダーワールドのサポートも経験済みで、今後が楽しみだ。
