Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in extreme minimalism, this intimate collaboration strips modern French chanson down to its barest acoustic elements. The pairing of theatrical vocal deliveries with sparse, unconventional percussion establishes a highly idiosyncratic, deeply poetic atmosphere entirely divorced from standard pop arrangements.
