Tokyo's Coolest Sound

It's been 10 years since singer and percussionist Necozawa Emi's previous album ("café tu ronronnes" (2002)). This time she is backed by a jazzy band of 6 musicians making this her first band recording.

Songs include covers of Serge Gainsbourg classics to some self-covers ("C'est vous sur le pont" she sang before for Sunaga t Experience, and April Set's "Le tourbillon"), and also new original song "Syncopation". This is out now on April Set's disques monoprix, a sub-label of Orange Records.
