Mansfield.TYA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mansfield.TYA is a French indie pop duo formed in 2002, composed of Julia Lanoë and Carla Pallone.

History

[edit]

Mansfield.TYA was founded in 2002 in Nantes by Sexy Sushi singer Julia Lanoë (alias Rebekka Warrior) and baroque violonist Carla Pallone.[1] The name of the band is a reference to June Miller (alias June Mansfield), the second wife of novelist Henry Miller.[1]

They release a first EP in 2004, May, and their first album June in 2007.[2] Their second album Seules au bout de 23 secondes, released in 2009, is described as "an anomaly" (une anomalie) between folk and post-rock.[2]

After Nyx (2011), described as a "nocturnal post-rock baroque opera",[3] they released Corpo Inferno in 2015, featuring American singer Shannon Wright on the track "Loup noir".[1] Monument ordinaire (2021), an album featuring Odezenne and Bérurier Noir singer François Guillemot,[4] is their last album before their split in 2022.[5]
