Album Notes & Community Reviews

Enlisting a high-profile roster of collaborators including Sonic Youth and Noir D茅sir, the veteran French provocateur delivers an incredibly dense and eclectic album. 'Kekeland' brilliantly merges theatrical art pop with her signature surrealist lyricism, maintaining a remarkably raw, sarcastic, and unhinged energy.
