The Isis Project
Les Heures Ou Je M'Eclipse

Sleeper

WE SAY

The Isis Project's eponymous album features music by Guy Chambers, lyrics (all in French) by Keren Ann Zeidel, and vocals by actress Sophie Hunter (the niece of Jane Birkin). Guy says "First and foremost this album is an 18th birthday present for my four year old daughter Isis". But don't assume it's a vanity project or a sneaky way of meeting a publishing commitment - the album is rather beautiful and Les Heures Ou Je M'Eclipse is a potential hit.
