It's no secret that at this blog we're huge fans of Feu! Chatterton, and have been since their debut album came our way.
They embody much of what I love about French music, the idiosyncrasies, the way they don't take themselves too seriously but remain unashamedly intelligent and their style which manages to be simultaneously mock pretentious and completely natural.
So their third album Palais D'Argile is something we're pretty excited about, and while waiting for it to drop we were delighted to see this appear.
While an acoustic session, it's a magnificent piece of work. It's also so perfectly shot it's only after a few watched that you realise it's just one shot for the duration of the song.
The song is originally by Irish poet William Butler Yeats, it's English title being Before the world was made. It's recently been recorded by Carla Bruni - on her No Promises album from 2007 - and The Waterboys on their 2011 An Appointment with Mr Yeats album.
Palais D'Argile is released on March 12.
