Light In The Attic

Lizzy Mercier Descloux was a talented French artist known for her contributions to music, writing, and painting. Born on December 16, 1956 in Paris, France, she left an indelible mark on the art world before her untimely death on April 20, 2004 in Saint-Florent, Corsica.

Descloux's unique style drew inspiration from various genres including punk rock and new wave. Her music resonated with fans who appreciated the raw energy and experimental nature of her sound. She collaborated with notable artists such as Bush Tetras, Rosa Yemen, Liquid Liquid, Maximum Joy, ESG and many more.

In addition to her musical talent, Descloux was also a gifted writer and painter. Her creativity knew no bounds as she explored different mediums to express herself. Through her work across multiple disciplines, Descloux cemented herself as a true artistic visionary.

New Wave / Post Punk

By the time bohemian singer/poet/artist Lizzy Mercier Descloux recorded her fifth album, 1988's Suspense, she'd enjoyed a recording career that was as far from the clichés of music lore as is possible, flitting between genres, continents and collaborators, enjoying great success and equally great failure and even stealing the final breaths of master trumpeter Chet Baker for 1986's One For The Soul. When she came to make Suspense - reissued here as the final album in our series - she was, for the first time, working without her longtime muse, partner and manager Michel Esteban, with whom she'd first moved from their native France to New York, where it all began.
