A proper dirge. Full commitment. Mortality, an inevitable, if unpleasant reckoning.

Sad seeing that 5.8 rating.  We must be getting a lot of younger kids in here looking for Adele and Rosalia.



Or, maybe some people (of any age) who didn't click with this right away; no need to get judgy. Peace, and let many flowers bloom!

damn, that's quite dark. not for me.



The song appears to be about the fact that we are all fated to die. To label this as dark seems to me in itself a rather dark point of view. The song might as well be an ode to life: from a baby's mumblings to the dried skin of old age. If life's what you make it, as the saying goes, then so is death. I see no darkness here.

I wouldn't normally listen to this but where else might the musically curious get such a wide tasting menu of the extraordinary diversity of music-making.  I'm giving it an 8 because it's ... well, to my ears, rather nicely weird.

No Wikipedia page and I reckon, good on her. First time (Sept'23) I've heard this tune and she's done a good job.
Seems she's spent the summer sailing with her husband (as renowned French violinist) around Scotland, the Orkneys, Shetlands and Faroes, performing at small festivals on the way.
Superb... sharing her music without succumbing to the temptations and tribulations of fame.

Here are the lyrics (in english):


Restart (Adkrog)

Murmur murmur
Tell me my fate
Hum hum
Sing your psalm

Stupor
Hit me
Sensation
Grow within me

My sap
Dries out
As melts
My strength
My sap
Dries out
And death is inevitable

Just out of curiosity: do you folks speak/understand Breton in Québec?

Too bad she's already taken--married to Yann Tiersen, who composed the music for Amélie.

QUINQUIS?!
Probably they don't know what Quinqui means in Spanish...

I enjoy this song but for me it always triggers the thought of an Orc march from the LOTR movies.

Is that background created by blowing into a microphone?

Kept waiting for the tempo to kick in and start getting after it...seemed like it should...but then nothing.  Expectations not met.  Sad face.

Her voice reminds me of Beth Gibbons from Portishead, and the lyrics remind me of early Cocteau Twins (in that I have no idea what she's singing, but I'm OK with it).

Wow, me likee mucho. Hard to get more eclectic that this. She is certainly pushing the edge of the envelope.

QUINQUIS [pronounced kɛ̃kis]

(aka Émilie Tiersen) – is a multidisciplinary Breton artist. Over two albums and several years Émilie recorded and released under the name 'Tiny Feet' but the recent name change, which pays homage to her personal and family history by referencing her maiden name, represents a fresh start musically.

The first track released, ‘Adkrog’ – which aptly translates as ‘Start Again’ -showcases QUINQUIS’ soothing yet unpredictable pulsations, feeling as though a new world is awakening and working out its newfound surroundings. “It’s about finding the energy in environment and nature,” she explains. “When I was feeling desperate, I sat outside and I prayed for nature to give me some answers. This song is about that – if you just let go then nature gives you an answer.” 

She's collaborating with producer and artist Gareth Jones (Sunroof, Liars, Depeche Mode and Apparat) and also touring in Europe with collaborator, husband and labelmate Yann Tiersen.
