Kim

In January I did a duet-project on this blog - in the following months I collected more twosomes, like this one by Mademoiselle Kim (pictured) and Guilain. First thought it was an Elvis Costello-cover, but it turned out to be an original (written by Kim and Guilain), with heavy Gainsbourg-undertones. Not a bad thing. Kim, who describes herself as "l'oiseau de nuit, les yeux grands ouverts, les sens en alerte, s'imprègnent des frémissements, soupirs et cris de la pénombre du bois embrumé", sings in this duet in a more uncertain way than usual (not a bad thing either), as you can hear in Les Copines. On her MySpace-site, Kim names Barbara, Edith Piaf, Yann Tiersen and even Sonic Youth as influences. Do you play bass as well, Kim?
