Fresh from the success of her latest album (Boom Biddy Boom, out now on wiaiwya) Freschard releases her first picture disc!
Recorded
in an afternoon at Soup Studios with the
Wave Pictures, it features a re-recording of one of the album’s many
highlights – And The Rain
Freschard
grew up in a farm in French Burgundy. She started organizing shows in the barn
when she was about 12 years old. Aged 18 she moved to the big city, Paris,
where she baked pies and cakes in a cafe. There, a local musician and regular
customer called Andre Herman Dune wrote a few songs for her to sing. She called
her first E.P. “Neon Orange”. Homeless in Paris, she saved up just enough money
to get herself a ticket to New York. There she found an old electric guitar and
started writing her own songs. She recorded her second e.p., "Shower
Gel", with Mike Gomez on lapsteel guitar. In 2004 she moved to Berlin,
where she recorded her first LP, "Alien Duck". Her second album,
"Click Click", recorded in 2006, features a drummer (Leo Bear Creek),
and electric guitar by Stanley Brinks. On her third album, “Moonstone”, she
plays the drums herself. On her fourth “Shh...” she also plays the flute.
