Hé Stranger sung by Anne PIGALLE

We can all love, we can all hate, we can all possess, we can all pity ourselves, we can all condemn ourselves, we can all admire ourselves, we can all be selfish, we call be unselfish. But below these things there is something else. There is a deep strange, unaccountable response within us to the mystery of live and the mystery of death; and this response subsists below grief and pain and misery and disappointment, below all care and all futility. And the startling thing about this response is, that it is independent of love, independent of pleasure, independent of hope, and can continue, as long as we remain true to ourselves, in spite of all reason, to the end of our days. — John Cowper Powys, The Art Of Happiness.

Pigalle’s first single, released in red on Zang Tuum Tumb’s nice and new, happy and say Certain Series. A favourable critic reports: “Here is a divinely intimidating scorch singer telling tales to those who understand the art of happiness, bringing a lump to the throat, burning a hole in the soul, ploughing the fields of worry. “Tell the trust, be certain, find Pigalle, bewitched.
