Clytem Scanning - In Her Room

Occasionally, an email drops into BobbySix.com's inbox from Paris-based singer/songwriter/programmer Clytem Scanning and it invariably makes us bop around the room like a schoolgirl singing NKOTB songs into her hairbrush. Amid midi synths and computers, she creates a playful mix of beat-driven electro-pop melodies filled with dark ambiances. The above video, recorded in her bedroom in 2009, is her latest gift to us. And, subsequently, ours to you.

Nobody should have to live their life without a slightly mad Frenchwoman in it, and, since Soko has fallen off the map, Clytem Scanning will do nicely. Having released an EP in 2010, her album is set to drop this year. Can't wait.
