Alectrona

Description

Born in 1972 in Lille, Chloé Mons grew up in an eclectic family where Rock'n'Roll and contemporary art were very present. In 1994, in Paris, after studying Dramatic Arts at the Conservatoire and earning a Master's degree in Cinema, she moved from small roles on the big screen to her notebooks of writing and songs that never left her side. In 2002, she recorded the Cantique des cantiques with her husband Alain Bashung. In 2006, two records were released: Chienne d'unSeul, as a solo project, and La Ballade de Calamity Jane. In 2011, she went to Kingston, New York to record her new album "Walking" with Malcolm Burn. After an album of covers of 1950s standards (Il Buio), she reunited the team from "Walking" and left again in November 2012 to set up her caravan in southern India, in Mysore, Karnataka, to record ""Soon"". In 2015, after studying piano for 7 years, she wrote and composed an album face to face with this instrument, which is like a new territory to discover. This is ALECTRONA, for which she summoned the magician Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) to produce the album.
