Pamplemoussi

PAMPLEMOUSSI is Geneviève Castrée's third book for L'Oie de Cravan, a 68-page 12x12 inch graphic tour de force presented in a limited edtion of 800 copies with a silkscreened color cover and includes a 12" lp of her songs! Graphically this is certainly her most accomplished work to date, the huge size of the book allowing her to get into crazy details that explode on the page. The book translates the 8 songs of the record into images. And this record is no comic-book-artist-trying-to-sing thing. After much touring under her musician name of Woelv, Geneviève, with some help from Run Chico Run and Phil Evrum of The Microphones, has developped a unique and strong style. Something of a francophone Chan Marshall with some Bjork inflections. But forget comparaisons : you have to hear it really. Included are lyrics in french and English.
