Brigitte Fontaine is one of France's most singular and boundary-defying artists, known for her avant-garde approach that blends poetry, jazz, and experimental sound. Lettre À Monsieur Le Chef De Gare De La Tour De Carol / Un Mauvais Champignon / La Nausée (extrait) brings together Fontaine's iconic track originally featured on her legendary 1969 album Comme À La Radio, a record widely celebrated for its bold and unconventional artistry. The title track is a beautifully evocative piece inspired by the remote mountain train station of Latour-de-Carol, nestled 1,200 meters high in the French Pyrenees.
This 2017 release from Cougouyou Music pairs Fontaine's celebrated track with contributions from the enigmatic electronic artist monsieuRdurand, creating a compelling blend of Electronic, Jazz, and experimental sounds across the release. The combination of a beloved French avant-garde classic alongside new interpretations makes this a fascinating listen for fans of adventurous, genre-crossing music. Released as a limited 7" single, this is a thoughtfully curated release for admirers of Brigitte Fontaine's enduring and distinctive artistic vision.
