For her entire music career, French multi-instrumentalist and experimental electronic producer liked her work to be completely instrumental. That is, of course, until Captain Of None, when she decided to write her own lyrics and sing them as well in addition to manning several instruments that include the cello, the spinet, and a classical guitar. All of this wafts in an ambient downtempo style, keeping the atmosphere free-spirited and engrossing. The album is pretty consistent, and as far as a standout track goes, that honor is held by "Lighthouse", a gorgeous piece that wouldn't be out of place while walking on a beach. As far as her voice goes, she's quite adept, choosing a style that fits the atmosphere very well. All in all, it's an enjoyable release, one that doesn't quite sound like anything she's done thanks to the addition of vocals.
