Fishbach channels Joy Division on her addictive new single "Un autre que moi"

Flora Fischbach is from the same town as Rimbaud, and the same universe: one that is dark, imaginative, and transgressive, and with the same estrangement from the self ("Un Autre que Moi" is "Another Me" in English and the video make this doubling explicit). Fishbach brings to mind Joy Division and The Cure's "Lullaby", but done with sounds pillaged from cheery '80s French pop like France Gall's hit "Ella, Elle l'a". As David Lynch showed when he made "In Dreams" creepy as hell in Blue Velvet, setting is everything, and Fishbach has managed to inject menace into slap bass and synths.

Fishbach has made a big splash in France, where she is tipped for great things. She has been playing in bands from a young age, starting out on the punk scene and her hoarse voice is often traced back to those roots, as is her confident, theatrical stage presence. Her performance at Trans Musicales last year was one of the festival's most talked about.
