What MinaTindleOfficiel makes

Topics pop, folk, music, collaboration, melodies

Since her first album Taranta in 2012, Pauline de Lassus, aka Mina Tindle, has been exploring the same delicate yet complex pop-folk path. She enjoys working with different people depending on the project: "what drives me is the mirror, the dialogue... the surprise of collaboration," says Mina Tindle. Lyrics and melodies came naturally to Pauline, who, for the first time, worked in private with her husband, Bryce Dessner. The artisanal chemistry in the studio also helped shape Compass Rosa's organic structure-recorded at David Chalmin's place with Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner and Quatuor Zaide. Here, folk embraces its classical side, echoing works by artists like Adrianne Lenker, Aimee Mann, Aldous Harding, Cat Power, or even Elvis Presley. The important thing, Mina Tindle reminds us, is not the destination, but the journey-one that only reveals itself by walking. And by listening-on repeat-to the unforgettable melodies of Compass Rosa.
