only starting this thread because I couldn't find any significant mentions of her on ILM. I discovered her on, of all places, MTV, where I haven't discovered anyone I like in probably 20 years. Listening to the mostly-french debut album now and it's magnificent. Anyone who likes Stina Nordenstam should give her a listen.

have you listened to the march of the penguins soundtrack she did? nice.
i like vegetal but i haven't listened to the first album yet.

she played a show here a while back but her band was stuck with some visa issues and couldn't make it to the show so she had to do an impromptu solo thing where she played tracks on a laptop and would alternate between guitar and piano on different songs. it was awkard. some of it was almost tori amos-y, which was a bit unsettling. her drummer arrived near the end and did a song with her playing piano and him drumming all over it, which was much better than the rest of the set.

Is she any good? She is playing with Iva Bittova who I really want to see but don't feel like paying $30 for the whole thing.

She's an odd pairing for Iva Bittova. She is sort of a twee, jazzy bjork... I'd go for Iva Bittova but I wouldn't mind seeing her. You can get an idea of what to expect by youtube videos.
