The Enchanted Wood: I'm From Rennes

Some nice video emerged by The Enchanted Wood, an act that I've enthused about on this blog since I heard their 2012 Monster Parade album.

The Enchanted Wood is essentially a solo project by Fat Supper associate Michel Le Faou, regularly backed by live members of that band and other musicians.

Le Faou has done video work for Fat Supper, including the clip for their track Grotorro.

The video comes from September last year, when The Enchanted Wood performed as part of the I'm From Rennes festival, and was shot in the city.

It's a tasteful representation of Le Faou's crepuscular crooning, with its nod to neofolk.

It features three tracks, Rise of the Jellyfish, Children of Solitude and The Menstrual World

Les Rencontres Trans Musicales: The Enchanted Wood

An impressive new video for the track Death is knocking at your door by The Enchanted Wood, a track
which could easily sit alongside works by the likes of masters like Nick Cave an Tindersticks.

There's a beautiful melancholy in their work, it will be fascinating to see how this works in a live environment.

The Enchanted Wood is a musical project fronted by Michel Le Faou, working with other musicians or performing solo.

The second album by The Enchanted Wood, Monster Parade, was released in 2012, the debut self-titled album in 2006.

The Enchanted Wood play on Friday December 6 at Les Rencontres Trans Musicales.
