Montaigne

Links: https://www.facebook.com/montaignemusic http://www.montaignemusic.com.au/ Montaigne is the stage and artist name of Jessica Cerro. The moniker Montaigne is a reference to the 16th century essayist Michel de Montaigne. Jessica Cerro was a triple j Unearthed High finalist of 2012 with indie pop song ‘Anyone But Me’. Jess decided to wait on pursuing her music career full-time in order to finish her secondary studies. She spent time refining and developing her songwriting skills under the guidance of Michael Szumowski of Alberts music. Consuming more of the fiction that feeds her introspectively self-conscious lyrics, her quest was to develop a more mature worldview. Late last year Montaigne recorded her first EP with producer Tony Buchen (The Preatures, Andy Bull). ‘I’m A Fantastic Wreck’ is the first offering from Montaigne’s forthcoming debut EP, due for release later this year. The EP, titled Life of Montaigne, is like a book, each song a chapter. Each sound is unique, leaving us to understand the depths of our very private selves, with influences such as The National, Sigur Rós, Arcade Fire and Owen Pallett. Read more on Last.fm.
