Praise for Mina Tindle:
"It’s from the watercolor zone of Stevens’s catalog, made even more diaphanous by De Lassus’s guileless voice. In the first half of the song, she realizes “I’m all alone” in music with a subliminally unstable seven-beat meter. In the second, she quietly calls for what she needs — “Give a little bit of your heart” — as the music settles into 4/4 and she and Stevens overdub themselves into a supportive choir."
- The New York Times on “Give a Little Love ft. Sufjan Stevens”
"Indian Summer” subtly builds as it goes. In the beginning, it’s barely more than De Lassus’ voice and some atmospheric backdrops. But she layers and magnifies herself as the song continues, until the end of the song is a gorgeous web of vocal melodies. " - Stereogum
"Lonesome but sweet, “Give a Little Love” flows along gently reverberating guitars and piano notes that seem to coo under Tindle’s voice. The track was written, arranged, and produced by Stevens, and he also contributed subtle backing vocals, adding to the song’s warm feel." - Consequence of Sound
Mina Tindle, the project of Parisian singer/songwriter Pauline De Lassus, has shared a new stripped back version of ‘Fire and Sun’. Taken from last year’s stunning album SISTER, the performance is a duet with longtime friend and collaborator Kate Stables of This Is The Kit. The song was recorded during a filmed session for French platform La Blogothèque and will be released as part of ‘The LFO/Blogothèque Sessions’ EP on May 7th via the 37d03d label.
The songs were recorded and filmed at David Chalmin’s studio LFO, in the South of France last summer when lockdown restrictions were light. Performing alongside Tindle is This Is The Kit’s Kate Stables, The National’s Bryce Dessner and prolific composer Chalmin. As well as live versions of tracks from Tindle’s album SISTER, the EP includes one new song, “Indigo”. Previously shared videos directed by La Blogothèque include "Give A Little Love,"
"Is Anything Wrong"
and "
Indian Summer."
