Sandie, Amelie

Sandie and Amelie are like night and day. Sandie//Trash is the tough cookie who swears like a sailor and drinks like a soldier. She was featured here before with an up-to-11-cover of Jane B. Now she has electro-fied a song by cultpunkband Les Olivensteins from Rouen. Fier de ne faire rien (Proud of doing nothing) is a classic punksong with a classic nihilistic no-future text. Other songs by Les Olivensteins are called Euthanasie and Je Suis Negatif, so there you go.

When Amelie DeLange sings or speaks, birds suddenly appear. And butterflies. The sun comes out, clouds disappear, bad vibes are gone. If you're a regular visitor of this blog, you know that I am such a sucker for untrained girlie voices like Amelie's. Just like Sandie, she uses electronics in her music, but she's less in your face, more shy, sweet and innocent. In January, her album A Vol d'Oiseau was released, with songs she wrote with Yann de Paris.
