Today is Bastille Day and that's about all the tenuous reason I need to recommend Fabienne Delsol.
Fabienne Delsol came over to London from France in the late 1990s and joined the group The Bristols. Today however we are listening to a solo song, I'm Gonna Haunt You.
It's got guitars that wrangle you like spider webs. The bone breaking drum beat rolls back and forth down your spine. Delsol's breathy vocals walk a fine line between sexy and menacing. It feels a bit like a forgotten 60s french surf classic fell through a timewarp and then began seducing everyone in sight.
See? Who says a blog about mainly old and unknown songs can't be totally topical. Happy Bastille Day! (Yes she's based in the UK but she's French so ssshhhhh)
