Release.Info :
æOutremancheÆ (French, literally ôacross the channelö) is the new mini-album
from the London-based French singer filled with plaintive pop ballads and
electro frippery, sung predominantly in her native tongue.
The warming, warped folk-pop of the opening track mixes Yo La Tengo-esque
pockets of distant distorted guitars with velvety Stereolab vocals . My
state-funded education in the language of love means I can only translate the
odd word like æminuteÆ or æEnglandÆ, but it doesnÆt matter, thatÆs the beauty of
the French accent û it makes even the most the humdrum subject matter sound
alluring and filmic. Therefore, the album works very well when listened to on a
walkman, turning mundane acts such as getting the number 12 bus to Totton into a
scene from æBelle de jourÆ.
The high-pitch pistons and echoing vocals of æJe suis lαÆ lead into a suitably
sultry cover of the Edith Piaf standard æToujour aimerÆ, whilst the closing
track æMars ou avrilÆ recalls nectarous melancholy masters St. Etienne.
This is a classy, compelling set of songs, and yet perhaps it lacks a sprinkling
of avant-garde magic to make it truly show-stopping û but thereÆs no denying the
bewitching appeal of Anne BÆs delivery, and a dab of French exoticism will go a
long way when it comes to standing out from the UK indie crowd. If Anne B is a
bit more adventurous when it comes to recording her full length LP, it could be
something quite special.
