Danceable post-punk, been a while since we posted that on this blog. From Montréal I give you the female-led La Sécurité. New album coming in June.

Belgian drummer/singer Isolde teams up with fellow Belgian Daan, in this very Gainsbourgian percussion spectacle:

Live-version

From Switzerland, Gina’s called ‘the Swiss answer to Björk’. Tillmann’s also known als Dj Real Madrid. Big shoes to fill, no? This remix is very synthy, which we like. If yer into Dominique Dumont and other lo-fi balearic beats, check out the EP too.

Delta, the new album by (Amandine) Maissiat is out. And this beauty is on that album (repost, because it’s great):

Been writing about Maissiat every now and then, to refresh your memory, here’s three great tracks from the past:

With Mina Tindle, great cover of a Jane Birkin song:

Emilie Simon was one of the artists I blogged about in the early years of FillesSourires. Twenty years after the release of first single ‘Desert’ (the whole album is reworked, too) she re-interpreted that first single:

Original version:

Chill out track, with strong Julee Cruise/Twin Peaks vibes:

Videoclub, je t’aime. It seems that the duo is dead, because singer Adèle has a solo single out. Videoclub does gets mentioned in the credits. This track still has that languid 80s vibe that I love, but more pop added.

From Paris, this punky duo (Camille & Margaux) just released a new EP with fierce, fast, catchy tracks in the vein of Liminañas, Wet Leg and the like. Great videos too.

Great video, great song:

New French singer Clair, who records under the wings of Philippe Katerine. Her music is reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra and Anna Karina. It’s all retro, but hey, when spring’s coming, you DEFINITELY wanna hear these soothing sounds, no?
