At a young age Phoebe Killdeer wanted to write and create her own music, she was already listening to what would become her main influences: Tom Waits, Art of Noise, Yma Sumac, Nick Cave, Carmen McRae... «I have a fascination with words and lyrics, the way they are such obvious simple things and yet they come alive with complexity and full with feeling depending on the way you place them and with which tone you pronounce or accentuate them. Words are alive as much as we are and they allow us to share and communicate our feelings in our own way which makes it so exciting and a huge world to explore.» She began writing and singing her own compositions, and collaborating on various projects with Bang Gang, Basement Jaxx, True Stories, Ernest Saint Laurent, Zero dB... In 2004 she takes part in Marc Collin's project, Nouvelle Vague's second album, «Bande à part». Its success will bring her to tour around the world for three years. The public is immediately captivated by Phoebe Killdeer's unusual voice, strong personality and great stage presence. Phoebe Killdeer has now produced a solo album of extremes and contrast. Fragility and introspection are comfortably married to an exuberant barrage of Rock, Blues and Soul in a debut record that is startling in its accomplishment. «I wanted the sound of the album to be dirty enough to represent the quirkiness of those caracteristics, so with Marc Collin we got some crazy horns, ghostly vibraphones, edgy guitars and tribal drums together to capture that mood.
