Song(s) of the Day # 641 Lizzy Mercier Descloux


A face on the CBGB's Punk scene, Frenchwoman Lizzy Mercier Descloux met and mixed with the other main players, set up Rock Magazine, and later signed up as an artist on  Ze Records, went out with Richard Hell and made TV appearances with the likes of Serge Gainsbourg as I posted yesterday.


Her records are great. The clip of Torso Corso about is abridged, as is the track below,  but you get the idea. It's full of that hip New York funk energy that poured into the No Wave movement at the end of the seventies.She sounds like a more wired, weird and slightly dangerous French equivalent of Clare Grogan. Hear more on the recently re-released No Color.
