From Wales, Katell Keineg first built her reputation in New York on the buzzing cafe scene around St Mark's Place and Sin-e. Following her first release on Bob Mould's SOL Records, she emerged into one of the most inspiring and deeply moving performers around, with Natalie Merchant and Iggy Pop numbering among her fans and collaborators. Produced by Eric Drew Feldman of Captain Beefheart and PJ Harvey fame, "Jet", her second album for Elektra was named one of the best overlooked pop masterpieces of the decade by Esquire, while Keineg was recently tipped by The New York Times as "a songwriter due for her own cult".

probably my favourite of all Katell's recordings

This album is amazing and so is Katell. "There you go" was the first one that struck me and then I discovered the rest, some people saw it as a "rewriting" of the myth of Orphee and Eurydice and I think it is just brilliant. "The Battle of the trees" is really uplifting. "One hell of a life" and "Smile" are masterpieces that remind us to "build our lives high on the present tense" and "on serendipity" and that we've got "everything we need"... :) "Ole conquistador" has a very particular structure which in my mind is brilliant. "Leonor" is about the painter Leonor Fini, well, every track is fantastic on this record and exudes pure beauty! You definitely should buy it!
