agnès b. radio
Welcome to agnès b. radio!
Music has always been part of agnès b.'s world. Since the opening of her first boutique on rue du Jour, 45s played carefully selected sounds all day long.
The stylist also supports independent French and international musicians and labels by dressing them, participating in their work and making them available for listening in her network of boutiques around the world. Her ambition: to introduce their world and their new products to her customers. In 2008, the house created its web radio to share its must-haves, playlists, guest artists, musical partnerships, etc. everything that makes agnès b.'s music!
Ile de Garde isn't just a clever pun paying homage to the blessed German mystic and jack-of-all-trades, Hildegarde Von Bingen. It's the name chosen by three women freshly signed to Born Bad/ Carpaccio Cathédrale, who came bearing gifts : six synth-wave tracks based on a drum/keyboard/spoken word line-up. It won't be for everyone, and that's just as well.
More of a narrator than a singer, Klara Coudrais performs the lyrics, embodies characters, and puts on a show, in french and in english. Controlled and clinical anger, putting facts in order, whether it's settling scores with some violent bloke or scrutinize a couple on the path to a breakup…Sylvia Plath meets Diamanda Galás, heckling the audience gently.
