Émilie Simon

File Under: /music

Bertrand Russel: Why don't I know this?
G.E. Moore: Because philosophers think it's mathematics and mathematicians philosophy!
     ~Logicomix

French musician Émilie Simon. Writes and performs in English and French. Writes and performs her own songs. Massively popular in France, released in the U.S. Wrote the soundtrack for the French release of March of the Penguins. Sweet, biting, smooth, electronic. Why don't I know this?

Aside: The video for "Flowers" itself is brilliant; as near as I can tell it was directed by a collective called No Brain (viciously crap website here). Whether it's a hybrid of stop motion and computer animation or just computer animation with far too much work put into making it look like stop motion I can't decide from the YouTube video. Obviously the website is no help.

Click around on YouTube a bit. These songs are viciously good for French pop music. Why don't I know this in the U.S.? Why haven't my tracking cookies surrounded me with this? Has Simon been shuffled into the same hole all electronic music seems to fall into right now? Do we really need that much more room for Stefani Germanotta's particular brand of gaga desperation?

I expect a response from high-level authorities.
