about

>>>

Marianne Dissard is a French born singer-songwriter, producer, performance artist, photographer, film-maker and writer. As a solo artist she has released three studio albums of original material as well as numerous singles, EPs, live albums & contributions to compilation albums, and she has collaborated with artists including Calexico, Giant Sand, Amor Belhom Duo, The Inspector Cluzo & Lunatraktors, as vocalist and/or lyricist.

‘Rappel’ collects a series of transformative cover versions recorded during 2020 & ’21, in collaboration with English producer & multi-instrumentalist Raphael Mann, whilst they were stuck as the result of lockdown restrictions in different cities. Five songs were released as singles as they were completed - Steely Dan’s ‘Dirty Work’, Richie Valens’ ‘Come On, Let’s Go!’, Bobbie Gentry’s ‘Refractions’, Janis Ian’s ‘At Seventeen’ (recorded as two different versions, “His” & “Hers” with contrasting moods), and Townes Van Zandt’s ‘If I Needed You’, as a duet with Mann - and the album includes an additional four tracks; her take on Scott Walker’s ‘Rosemary’, a grunge-punk burst through Richard Harris’s ‘A Tramp Shining’, a chilling deconstruction of War’s ‘Slippin’ Into Darkness’, and a version of the Spanky & Our Gang hit, ‘Give A Damn’, recorded in the summer of 2021, in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, and as her adopted home of Arizona was bursting into flames. Vocalist Art Terry was invited to contribute to the recording, and the spoken word piece that he came up with ended up becoming a track its own right, entitled ‘Nests On The Ground’, forming a sort of extended coda to ‘Give A Damn’ and a poetic exploration of its themes of injustice and social degeneration…

Also included with the album download are five bonus tracks - the earlier single, a version of Phil Och’s ‘The Scorpion Departs But Never Returns’, repurposed as a comment on the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020 just as the virus was spreading around the world, Adriano Celentano’s Italian novelty hit ‘Prisencolinensinainciusol’ reinvented as an incendiary condemnation of contemporary politicians, released as a single the following April; as well as the radio versions of ‘Give A Damn’ & ‘Prisencolinensinainciusol’ and the “Hers” version of ‘At Seventeen’.

‘Rappel’ is available exclusively on Bandcamp.
