Aure

When Aure takes the stage, it's time for stillness. For attention. And for music that takes you to a dream landscape. With her deep, sultry voice, French Aure inevitably evokes thoughts of greats like Nico or Françoise Hardy. She sings about her doubts and love confronted with time, in direct lyrics that she delivers as emotional snapshots, without adornment. The stripped-down production, mainly with guitar and voice, emphasizes that directness, like a contemporary Nick Drake, or more recently Big Thief, Mariee Sioux, and also Jeff Buckley. On her acoustic guitar, Aure finds beautiful chord progressions that form a fine carpet for her unique voice.
