Maryse Letarte (pictured) and Emilie Proulx are both Quebecoises, and who fish in the same musical (i.e. folky) waters. Maryse's most recent album Le Motif was released in 2004, and has lush strings and great Chopinlike pianos. Her voice isn't all that, bit bland, but Le Héros is a very nice song.
Emilie Proulx likes it s-l-o-w. Her EP Dans une ville endormie was released in the beginning of this year. She likes Pink Floyd and Radiohead, her songs remind me of Cat Power, although less sultry.
The lovely Amelie DeLange (who thinks I am American) asked attention for her close friend and musical companion Yann de Paris. Listening to his songs, he has a Gainsbourg-obsession as big as mine. His ode to Paris (featuring Amelie on backing vocals, I take it) has Serge and Jane written all over it. Which is nice.
