We've been fans of Moodoïd here since we first came across him at the Les Transmusicales de Rennes almost ten (!) years ago, and his career since has been a rewarding one to follow. If his recent releases have seen him move on from the more overtly psychedlic pstylings of work like Je Suis La Montagne and his Le Monde Möö debut album, he remains an artist who deserves following, his universe continuing to expand in unexpected directions.
For this session he performs for My Little Paris an acoustic version of Memories at the Petit Palais musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris, an incredibly scenic and atmospheric location. They've run four previous sessions over the past few weeks, including Catastrophe and VOYOU, each one making the absolute most of the Paris locations alongside some very well-selected music.
Memories features on Moodoïd's five track PrimaDonna vol. 2 EP which was released at the end of last month. Like its PrimaDonna vol. 1 predecessor, it features collaborations with other artists including Lottie P, Dora, Zombie Chang, Jane Perry as well as Olivia Merilahti who features in this session
For this session, he's accompanied by Olivia Merilahti, half of The Dø who also operates as a solo artist under the name Prudence. Since their 2014 Shake Shook Shaken album, a top ten hit in France, she and partner in Dø Dan Levy have been pursuing solo projects.
The other musician playing in the session, Paul Prier has just released his solo EP Punctual Problems, and recently played piano at the YSL Winter Collection launch at the Bourse de Paris, where he accompanied Charlotte Gainsbourg. I'll give him some more well-deserved attention soon on this blog.
In the meantime, Moodoïd demands your attention for a sophisticated and atmospheric moment of unashamed beauty.
