When picking songs for Filles Sourires 2, I played a few tracks by Jeanne Cherhal. We had trouble reaching her record company for the first edition; I really wanted one of her fresh, kooky songs on my comp. But alas, the record company did not get back to us. Anyhoo, I didn't select a JC-song this time (but I am considering one by her sister ), which left an unsatisfied feeling. Lucky for me (for...

Liz Cherhal likes to sing about death. Accidents, suicides, fatal attacks. But she's chirpy about it, she and her accordéon. Or her guitarplayer Dédé. Liz is the sister of FS-fave Jeanne Cherhal , both sisters have a thing for odd subjects and folky music.

The recently released Nouvelle Chanson Française Volume 2- box gives you an update (spread over 5 cds) on the new(-ish) names of French leftfield pop 'n rock. Most of the names ring a bell by frequent FS-visitors (Valerie Leulliot, Jeanne Cherhal, Amelie-les-Crayons, Holden, etc), if you're into husky folky French guys who are inspired by Jack Johnson you're in for a treat too. I bought it for the...
