A revelation at several festivals in 2012, including Les Femmes S'en MĂȘlent and Fnac Live, the Mensch female duo are by no means novices. ValĂ©rie Poher and Carine de Vita have both played in a variety of experimental bands, including Spade & Archer, Groom and Rzatz, before teaming up for their devastating self-produced debut EP. Released in the wake of this, their debut album Mensch, released in March 2012, diffuses a perfume of atmospheric rock tinged with electro.
