El-G – “Armelle 7″” – [Le Vilain Chien]

French folk songs, each of which tells a story if only we knew how to translate it. Side A is a pretty song rendered by two sweet voices over strumming. Fresh and youthful. Side B features a male voice singing a more jaunty, weird melody, also over strums that crescendo and then quiet down again. Unique and worth a listen.
