Since her teenage years, Victoria Suter had a soft spot for Françoise Hardy. To her, she embodies a kind of romanticism that awakens memories of her younger self. Her songs have a simplicity that is touching, sometimes almost naïve, yet they also hold a dark depth, like bittersweet cries from the heart.
One song that left a lasting impression on the duo is La Mésange, a lesser-known piece from her repertoire. It’s an adaptation of a Brazilian composition by Chico Buarque.The melody mirrors the flight of a bird, (an animal dear to the band!) unpredictable, disorienting, and complex. The universe of this song resonates with the band, especially through its imagery of nature and melancholy, lightness tinged with sadness.
