France-born, London-based singer-songwriter Charlotte Marionneau released her debut album as Le Volume Courbe back in 2005, and now she's finally unveiled plans for the follow-up to I Killed My Best Friend. Titled I Wish Dee Dee Ramone Was Here With Me, the sophomore record will arrive on October 30 through Ring the Alarm/Pickpocket.
Marionneau previously shared a single called "The House" featuring My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields, who also provides vocals on Rock Erickson cover "I Love the Living You" and mixed a new song called "Rusty."
A statement about the new album from Marionneau [via Pitchfork] reads:
Now I understand why second albums are 'difficult.' Your first album is your 'best of; the music you've made all your life; then you start again from scratch. I'm not prolific, but I need an album to be strong throughout. I have to build it like a collage; I feel more like a producer than a musician really. So I pick up ideas and create songs around them. It's about trying things, experimenting.
