"..."The one and only" takes the listener musically and geographically back to Tucson and a song infused with those wonderfully rich sounds of Americana. Part homage to the Tucson of old, the song rallies against the creeping gentrification and the resulting urban upheaval ..."

Excited to mark with an actual physical object the 15th ANNIVERSARY of the release in 2008 of my first Tucson studio album, 'L'entredeux'! It's been a while since I made anything 'physical'—and I've only ever made cassette tapes once, back in 2008 or 09 for 'L'entredeux'.
Here it is then, from my little home to your shiny cassette players... I'm happy to announce a limited-edition 4-cassette tape BOX SET in a wooden box with removable lid, signed & numbered.
The box set includes my three Tucson trilogy studio albums: 'L'entredeux' (2008), 'L'abandon' (2010), and 'The Cat. Not Me' (2013), plus covers album 'Rappel*le' (2023).

* Pre-order with an early-bird discount this month until April 22nd, 2023.
* Prices go up by £15.00 after that date... if there are any boxes left.
* Shipping from UK or EU (f**k Brexit) later this month to avoid pesky cross-border fees and delays.
(psss... If you subscribe to my newsletter, you get an even better deal until 22 April. Subscribe now: linktr.ee/mariannedissard )

'L'entredeux' was released in 2008, followed in 2010 by 'L'abandon' and in 2013, closing the Tucson trilogy, 'The Cat. Not Me'. Composed by Joey Burns, Sergio Mendoza, Christian Ravaglioli, and Naïm Amor, these originals were re-interpreted live in the City Series albums, notably 'Paris One Takes' (2010) and 'Cologne Vier Takes' (2015). An early 2006 demo, 'Dedicated To Your Walls. May They Keep Blooming', the 'Best Of' 2016 compilation 'Cibola Gold' (deluxe CDs still available), and covers albums 'Rappel' (2022) and 'Rappel*le' (2023) with Raphael Mann theraphaelmann.bandcamp.com (plus a few singles, EPs, and oddities) complete the bulk of my releases over these two decades. Most of it is available on Bandcamp and none of it on Spotify (I'm partial to Tidal myself).

Bandcamp download links included if you still need them—ask me, as the Bandcamp setup doesn't allow for all four albums' downloads to be automatically sent with your purchase.
Includes unlimited streaming of L'Abandon (2011 - 2019 Remaster)
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

⭕ REVIEWS ⭕
🔻 “There literally isn’t a single substandard song here: count this among one of the best dark rock records in recent years.” (Lucid Culture, USA) 🔻 “Quelle richesse, quelle diversité, quelle complexité ! (Le Parisien, France) 🔻 “Cliff-hanging liaison between Chanson and Rock. Complex and yet stringent, experimental and extravagant, dramatic and sexy” (Musikwoche) 🔻 “Dramatic but never theatrical, forceful but never strident. Finally, perhaps, a female Nick Cave that we can actually believe in” (MetroMag’, Auckland) 🔻 “A hell of a wild ride” (Sunday Star Times, New Zealand)
🔻 “This sophomore album is punk-meets-folk is gritty, energetic and, probably because of the husky French vocals, incredibly sexy” (New Zealand Herald) 🔻 “The erotic charm of French desert-chanson, the power of US-American indie rock and the obsession of jolly Mariachi-brass all fall into place to emerge as a vital mosaic” (Szene, Hamburg)
🔻 “A voice, bearing the intensity of an Edith Piaf, a wild Rodeo of style and feelings” (Piranha) 🔻 “Timeless creation” (Tagesspiegel) 🔻 “A great production, in this year’s highlights” (Culturmag.de) 🔻 “Watch out, pigeonholers: Francophile Pop can grind too.“ (Zitty) 🔻 “Feverish songs, captivating pop anthems and touching ballads” (Schnüss, Bonn) 🔻 “A furious mix” (Kulturnews) 🔻 “Shockingly sanguine” (Westzeit) 🔻“Simply very entertaining” (Sono)

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
