She&#8217;s French (from the fine city of Bordeaux) and has managed to establish some fruitful penpal-ships with some cool artists in the U.S., most notably in Portland. This is her new album. It&#8217;s full of smooth vocals, angular melodies and sparkly electronic bits, tossed in together with decidedly lo-fi handclaps and the cute snapping of fingers.
