weird -- some of "Desert Horse" reminds me of Blonde Redhead's "Equus" (which was about singer Kazu's very serious accident involving a horse)

She said she'd not written anything since her illness so it must pre-date it

Yeah, I think the album was completed a year ago and ready to release before the accident.

Calstars is a tough customer tho quands tbf is the best track.

Few thoughts: cross my heart revisions improve that track from its initial release. Longer outro. Shirim sounds better too. Visions of someone special appears to be partly a cover and an original, which is cool.

I love this album. Would kill for a full collab / tour with Dungen.

three years pass...

Melody just released a new record called Emotional Eternal that I think is pretty stunning.

First half is excellent though loses some steam by the end. I love her singing in French.

Beautiful album. She's so underrated.

The homage/tip of the hat to Gainsbourg and Vannier's " L'hotel particulier" on "the Hypnotist" is lush.
