Comment: first of all, this album of handful of tracks is adorned with a fabulous cover print depicting a girl being embellished with a snake tattoo and obviously following a (Neo-)Pagan religion. It may be the girl depicted on the cover print is Cécile Raynaud who is one and the only behind this project. She has issued a couple of EPs under the Paris-based Zorch Factory Records. One of them is Whisper which showcases her ability to pull out convincing goth and desert-inspired compositions with galvanised guitar pounding and tortured appeal of singing. Her timbre and singing manner and (prepared) guitar signature remind of Kim Gordon, and Sonic Youth, respectively. In general, Whisper can be considered an exquisite bridge (or outlet) between the Francophone-centered coldwave and a more experimental approach. One track is her take on a My Bloody Valentine`s classic, Only Shallow by adding more electronic effects to the classic of sliding guitars played through a keyboard/sampler input. In a word, it is an example of truly convincing girl power, i.e without any childish postures and numb clichès.
