Review

Rolling Stone (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Keren Ann is a languorous Parisian chanteuse with a throaty soprano..."
Spin (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[Her] sad-eyed folk-pop ballads hit the brain's late-night pleasure spot..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.84) - "[A] coiled soft-rock song cycle about love's wreckage....[The album] echoes pastoral '60s and '70s psychedelia." -- Grade: A-
Uncut (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] distorted vocals and squawls of feedback which hint at something quite woozy and Velvet Underground-ish, but grounded in admirable songwriting."
CMJ (p.44) - "[A] stunner, an eclectic group of lo-fi symphonic pop songs that layer acoustic and electric guitars, piano, brass and snares over her inimitable ashy satin alto."
Q (Magazine) (p.74) - Ranked #41 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "[B]eautifully sparse songs..."

Title Note

Personnel: Keren Ann (bass instrument); Roland Hartwell (violin); Bjarki Gunnarsson, Christophe Morin (cello); Karen Brunon (strings); Magic Malik (flute); Avishai Cohen (trumpet); Dadi Birgisson (piano); Albin De La Simone (Hammond b-3 organ); Thomas Semence, Laurent Vernerey (bass instrument); David Maurin, Regis Ceccarelli (drums); Bardi Johannsson (unknown instrument); Ragnheidur, Arnbjorg, Gudrudur, Halldora (background vocals).

Prior to her 2007 self-titled effort, Paris-based singer-songwriter Keren Ann released several albums that found her refining a mixture of French chanson, rock, folk-pop, and dreamy ambience. That mixture was perfected on KEREN ANN, an enchanting collection of nine elegant tunes that drift over listeners like a fine sea breeze.

At the center of the album is Ann's voice, which is that of a breathy chanteuse and begs comparisons to Feist, Bebel Gilberto, and Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval. But while Ann's vocals are undeniably lovely, it's the subtle sophistication of the songs (which meld genres seamlessly) and the production (which is simple, yet beautifully textured) that makes this album a delight.
