Owlle

Owlle, the moniker of France Picoulet, is a French electronic musician whose work is defined by a sophisticated blend of synth-pop, trip-hop, and art-pop. Emerging in the early 2010s, she gained significant traction with her 2012 EP Ticky Ticky and a high-profile remix of Depeche Mode's 'Heaven.'

Her sound identity is characterized by 'dream-pop' vocals - breathy, ethereal, and often heavily processed - set against a backdrop of precise, cinematic electronic production. Having studied at the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse, Picoulet brings a visual, almost architectural sensibility to her songwriting, prioritizing atmosphere and texture. Her career arc shows an evolution from the moody, experimental electronics of her debut 'France' (2014) toward the more expansive and refined pop structures of 'Heavy Weather' (2018) and 'Folle machine' (2022). Critically, she is often grouped with the 'new wave' of French electronic artists who bridge the gap between indie-pop accessibility and underground electronic experimentation. Her influence web includes the trip-hop pioneers of the 90s and the synth-heavy art-pop of the 80s, resulting in a timeless but distinctly modern catalog that appeals to both pop fans and electronic enthusiasts.
