Emilie Simon Live À L'Olympia

Just a short post tonight friends.

Emilie Simon is an absolutely amazing French singer/electronic musician. Unlike many electronic artists, she is as good, if not better, live than on her fantastic albums. Some YouTube saint has posted her entire 2006 concert at the Paris Olympia in several parts. I have posted them after the jump for convenient viewing.

If you love Bjørk, don't miss Emilie Simon, they have a lot of similar characteristics both vocally and in their layered, multi-insturmental music. In this show, Simon has enlisted a huge range of musicians to create the range of sounds seen on her albums. Watching them perform on everything from cellos to theramin to power tools is fascinating.

Plus she's cute as a button.

And thank you "snakewall."
