An interesting video for Jean-Louis Aubert's song Isolement, a track from his album of songs based on poems by French writer Michel Houellebecq.
Houellebecq makes an appearance himself in the video for the single, which for all its highbrow heritage is a great song.
Aubert is a veteran of the French music scene, one of the founder members of Téléphone in the 70s, before embarking on a solo career
He initially released the Plâtre et Ciment album with Télephone's Richard Kolinka under the name Aubert'n'Ko in 1987, before his first solo album proper Bleu Blanc Vert in 1989.
Aubert's last album was 2010's Roc éclair, a collection which although focussing on sombre matters didn't stop it selling over 370,000 copies, an RTL album of the year award and his first solo Victoire de la Musique award for best show or tour of the year in 2012 for the tour that followed the album.
The track comes from Aubert's forthcoming Aubert chante Houellebecq - Les parages du vide which is due to come out on April 14.
In the meantime, the video will no doubt keep cultural commentators busy for a while.
