Charlotte Marionneau mudou-se de Paris para Londres lá em 1995 e a partir daí começou a compor e chamou atenção de gente como Hope Sandoval, Kevin Shields, Simon Raymonde só pra ficar em alguns nomes.
Foi contrata pelo selo Poptones de Alan McGee e daí já não tinha mais volta, a moça mostrou ao mundo seu talento.
Em 2000 a saga do Le Volume Courbe começou e quem não conhece, deveria imediatamente sanar esta lacuna. Comece pelo debute I Killed My Best Friend, um delicioso e precioso exercício de música pop em formato experimental ou vice e versa, conexões com Stereolab, Gainsbourg, e outros mais são inevitáveis mas é inegável o talento da banda e de Charlotte.
Ela já tocou com uma penca de gente, de Kevin Shields a Douglas Hart, e o Le Volume Courbe tem uma discografia meio tortuosa com vários eps, singles e Charlotte participa de várias coisas simultaneamente.
Meu conselho é, vá atrás de tudo, tudo mesmo, você certamente vai se sentir melhor.
