Singtank
editDe La Baume is a member of French indie band Singtank, with her brother Alexandre de la Baume and drummer Alberto Cabrera.[3] Their debut album In Wonder was a critical success.[4]
"Growing up I was a massive fan of Michael Jackson, he [Josephine's brother] was a massive fan of Elvis Presley, so there was a bit of the “ Who’s the King? Who is the actual King?” He had his hair like Elvis and I dressed like Michael Jackson, so he definitely looked better than I did, I think. Then we decided to branch out and play music together then eventually the music became better and we sent it to a bunch of people. One of them was Nellee Hooper who produced Massive Attack and Bjork, and he really liked it. He first lent us the studio in London to make better demos. When he heard them, he offered to produce the record."[5]
Film Noir
editFounded by Josephine in 2018, Film Noir released their first EP titled Vertiges (Men of Glory) in 2019, which was well received. The first single La Mariée (vague à l'âme) got into the France Inter Radio summer playlist. The second single Brûlant also got on the France Inter radio playlist. Film Noir collaborated on their EP with Cundo Bermudez (Ty Segall, No Age), Cole Alexander and Zumi Rosow (Black Lips), Kirin J Callinan and Samy Osta (Juniore, La Femme), and Sacha Got (La Femme).[6]
