Miss Shapenfinger's dream is to write a song with lyrics as good as Bob Dylan's and melodies as good as The Beatles'. Maybe when I'm sixty four...
2009 May / "DOWNUNDERUN CORRONATION" / furne records 018 The Fithth album, written and recorded between "Worldressed Princess" sessions, a 7-month trip around Australia and my attempts to come back into the real life. Most of the song have been written in OZ. As this album deals with travels too, it's very close to "Worldressed Princess" but with more instruments. Always home-recorded, half the tracks are acoustic, the other half with drums.
2008 Oct / "LIMPIDE" (SPLIT 7'') / furne records 017 Petit entre-deux - et appartée en français - pour parler de ce split qui serait la compil idéale pour juger de la qualité de la folk anglophone-française. Je ne parle bien sûr pas de mes morceaux qui y figurent mais de ceux des artistes talentueux qui nous font le plaisir de jouer sur ce disque comme il jouerai dans notre salon : avec âme, conviction et surtout un sens incroyable de la mélodie.
2007 November / "THE WORLDRESSED PRINCESS" / furne records 014 The Fourth album, written and recorded in four sessions between April and October of 2007. Some of the song were written in France, some in New Zealandand some on the road between Holland, Scotland and Portugal. This album deals with travels!!!
2007 February / "KISSED OR KILLED BUT LIVING AND LOVING" / furne records 011 Third album, written between March of 2006 and January of 2007, compilation of my 7 inches and EPs plus bonus. All songs written and recorded by my own. This album deals with the end of a love for the born of a better one.
2006 March / "THIS AIN'T LOVE SONGS" / furne records 008 Second album, written between September of 2004 and February of 2006, recorded by my own in March of 2006. My friends Laurent (Gatechien, Headcases) and Simon (Luis Francesco Arena, Wedding Soundtrack) played cello and violin. This album deals 'bout girls and my feelings at that time: false love.
2004 Sept. / "MISS SHAPENFINGERS" / furne records 006 First album, written between September of 2002 and September of 2004, recorded by my own in September of 2004.
