Austine (3)

The Rhume EP is a taster for the upcoming Austine album, a record that I'm looking forward too very, very much. Last year I discovered the tender singing fille, via her first EP La Tendresse. The five songs on Rhume are in the same vein: a beautiful voix triste and a lonely acoustic guitar - she counts Brel, Brassens, Beatles and Bob Dylan as her influences. She doesn't sound melancholic all the time: Au Soleil is a very nice aftersun-beachsong. On Austine's MySpace-site there are two more songs: go and hear Le Trouble (not on the EP).

Austine - Au Soleil
Austine - Leitmotiv

Talking about albums I'm looking forward too: here's more news on the Charlotte Gainsbourg-album. Record is done, release date (in Holland) is August 28. Apart from Air, collaborators were Jarvis Cocker and The Divine Comedy´s Neil Hannon. Producer was Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck & Travis). Stringarrangements were made by David Campbell (Beck's daddy).
