Enigmatic Smile by Annisokay
The album title Enigmatic Smile was derived from the 19th Century Parisian tale ‘L’Inconnu de la Seine’, where the body of a young woman was found in the Seine River in 1880. Authorities suspected suicide so, as was customary, the body was taken to a morgue and displayed publicly in the hope that someone would recognise her. The pathologist on duty was so taken by the calm, almost smiling expression that he requested a cast of her face which he displayed decoratively. Her death remained a mystery; however the mask went on to become a fashionable 19th Century ornament with many oblivious to its origin. Enigmatic Smile captures the dark, morbid aspect of ‘L’Inconnu de la Seine’ with its raucous heavy sound, and also mirrors the beauty of the mysterious lady through delicately placed melody.
