Release Notes:
Lou Lesage is the daughter of Pierre Emery & Gil
Lesage (from cult French rock band Ultra Orange).
A singer and actress since the age of 18, Lou grew
up listening to the family record collection,
including the holy trinity (Stones, Velvet
Underground, Stooges), the albums recorded by her
father (Cherokees, Suspense) and those by Ultra
Orange - whom notably composed the first album of
actress Emmanuelle Seigner -.
As time passed, Pierre started to write songs and
lyrics with the enamoured regard of a father, whose
musical sensibility still dreamt of America. ItÆs
not surprise that, after having recorded in her
Parisian house, Lou left for Nashville - to a
studio often used by Jack Whiteà - in order to
record vocals and mix the future album. A taster
comes in the form a first 4 tracks ep (out in
January 2011), smartly decked out in black and
yellow - the colour of a Warholian banana -. When
she sings, Lou Lesage has both the fragility of Cat
Power and the electricity of Alisson Mosshart, two
of her biggest influences. A song like Forgotten
Child flirts with a certain climatic evanescence,
while other tracks on the EP (such as the well
named Dirty Looks) are of a more electric bent,
evoking a brunette Blondie. Now known as a muse of
the Parisian rock scene, as well as for her
famously sulky pouting in the hit film Lol, Lou's
surname may mean 'good girl' in French, but that
doesn't mean she has to be one.
