An amazing video and equally beautiful track Vole le Chagrin des Oiseaux by Emily Loizeau.
The track comes from her album Mothers & Tygers, released today, the video is by Nicolas Mongin, the illustrations by Paula Castro.
It's her third album, her debut L'autre bout du monde coming out in 2006 its follow-up Pays sauvage in 2009.
The content of the new album makes reference throughout to mystic English poet William Blake, whose work she encountered in her childhood, Loizeau being part English on her mother's side.
Some of the songs use quotes form his work, four are musical adaptations of his poems, some in French others in the original English.
She told La Nouvelle Obs in an interview that the album was written in her home in the Cévennes, where she can enjoy the space and silence, adding that the album was recorded in conditions that were at the same time epic and magical, in the heart of winter in sunshire with temperatures of -15.
Emily Loizeau playes some dates in France next month, and tours the country until March next year.
