recent purchases

Salle Des Pas Perdus - whispery vocals with folkish ensembles, brazilian influences

Bye Bye Beaute - same breathy vocals, gets a little more rockin' with electric ala Stereolab, B&S, Ivy

any other francophile/world recommendations, I'm on a "frenchkick" lately

and yes the Brazilian Girls have a nice coupla tunes on their latest, but about half is a bit too urban feelin'
