Hearing Erika M. Anderson—better known as EMA—perform without the stormy squall of her excellent debut record, Past Life Martyred Saints, is quite a thrill, and that’s just what we get in the latest installment of La Blogothèque’s Take Away Show. EMA performs three songs in utterly stripped down fashion, around various impromptu locations including a Parisian crypt (above) and a construction site. Watch them all over at La Blogothèque.

End Hits: Ooh la la! Zut alors! Super-cool!
