Le fil

Le Fil is the second album by French singer–songwriter Camille. First released in 2005, the album was reissued with four bonus tracks in 2006 in the United States, the UK and Australia. The title translates as "The Thread". The album features a low-level drone in the background of every song, which Camille has described as "[her] note". Camille has stated that many people returned the record, thinking this sound was a fault in the recording. On the original release, the final track "Quand je marche" has a runtime close to 39 minutes. The actual song is only four minutes in duration, but the tone extends for over 30 minutes after it has ended. The final 30 seconds contain Camille speaking in French. The extended ending was cut from reissues featuring bonus tracks. It has been most frequently compared to Björk's Medúlla, for Camille's use of her voice as an instrument in innovative ways. The track "Ta Douleur" placed 26 in the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2006. In 2008, the eighth track on Le Fil, "Senza", was used by Ford in televised adverts for their Kuga SUV.
