Elisa, Maria

Guest-selector Roar on Panne de Velours, a beautiful track by Elisa Point: "Sadly ignored, has done five or six albums I think. Does very long albums too, which makes them weaker as a whole, only every album contains an EP or two worth of very good material. So I buy them without regret. I also like the way she breathes when she sings."

And finally, Roar on Maria Napoleon: "Once the wife of Momus, did an album with Jeremy Butler that appeared in the Reverie/If-series on Siesta. Though of course very different from Nicola Conte, Will Holland, Benjamin Biolay - an understatement - I consider Jeremy Butler one of the most radiant concept makers and realisers the last five or six years, just like I do for the others I mentioned. The song Viva La Muerte has me thinking about a fille sourire extraordinaire - singing to and playing with a toddler. Non-sensical. Cute. This song was done prior to the album recorded with Jeremy Butler."
