Émilie Tiersen has, over the course of two albums and several years, made music as Tiny Feet and is now known as Quinquis. The name change is symbolic; paying homage to her personal and family history by referencing her maiden name, as well as representing a fresh start musically. Seim is a collaboration with Gareth Jones, the celebrated producer who has worked with groups such as Liars, Depeche Mode, Apparat and Yann Tiersen. The result of their work is one that merges sparse electronics, immersive atmospherics, and deft melodies, all of which are carried by Émilie's tender yet quietly soaring vocals.
