Eldorado on tak:til (Glitterbeat), was released in October 2021 and produced by John Parish (PJ
Harvey). In September 2022 she released a 4-track EP featuring Iggy Pop, The Dictator, on Glitterbeat.

Catherine’s music is a kind of psychedelic soundtrack: an immersive, intense and drone-like
soundscape charged with underlying tension that needs to explode, just like a volcano on the brink of
eruption.


Her latest album Eldorado received great reviews:
“Eldorado reimagines the scope, perimeters of the viola and violin on a troubled but also
personal slow release of richly brooding and heart yearned memories. It’s nothing less than a
completely immersive, intense soundtrack, and for that matter one of the year’s highlights: A
real work of quality that leaves a lasting emotional effect”
(Monolith Cocktail, UK)


“An immersive experience almost as dizzying and demanding as Wyatt’s “Rock Bottom”, and
one from which one emerges only with regret.”
 (Paris-Move, F)


“A universe that catches you, populated by presences that are sometimes just ghostly, charged with
tension (…) but also full of delicate allegories and crossed by light”.
(Le Soir, B)
