Recorded in a string of unusual locations including three church chapels and Noirlac Abbey, a 12th century Cistercian building, Gallic pop maverick Camille's fourth album, Ilo Veyou, reflects the low-key surroundings of its inception with a sound which playfully toys with the notions of silence and space. Indeed, it's possible to hear a pin drop on the majority of its 15 tracks, particularly on the Bjork-esque, a cappella closer "Tout Dit," which sometimes bravely waits five seconds in-between each of Camille's whispered words; the highly atmospheric, Middle Eastern-tinged "Le Berger," which sees her adopt a Bollywood-style vocal alongside a simple oud arrangement, and the bilingual, hushed melodies of "Pleasure," which are accompanied solely by some echo-laden, muted percussion. With such an ambitiously unconventional approach, Ilo Veyou is a singular achievement. ~ Jon O'Brien
