The first FS-fave that releases a new album in 2008 is gothic princess Claire Diterzi. Two years ago, the theatrically trained Diterzi made us all shiver with her very noir version of the classic 'Hungarian suicide-song' Sombre Dimanche (or Gloomy Sunday). Now, the former member of Di Terzi has made an album that is an ode to womanhood. Inspired by paintings and sculptures by (among others) Toulouse Lautrec, Turner, Lucian Freud an Van Eyck, plus Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares, Tableau de Chasse is not for everyone. Pretentious, sure. Intense? Oh yes. I love those angelic Bulgarian choir-voices, the thick red velvet curtains-atmosphere of most songs. And those electronic beats.
It's all very different from Diterzi's soundtrack for the movie Requiem for Billy the Kid, that involved way more dust 'n gunpowder. From that soundtrack, here's two whispery Bob Dylan covers.
Claire Diterzi - Retiens-moi
Claire Diterzi - Zubrowska

Claire Diterzi - Knockin on Heaven's Door
Claire Diterzi - Billy 7
Ah bon, after Charlotte doing 'Just Like A Woman' by Dylan with Calexico, these two tracks are another example that Dylan songs cán be intriguing ;-)
