She collaborated with producer Wainwright Hewlett on her debut album, Dark Undercoat (2007). It was licensed for international release by the Talitres label in 2008 and reached number 143 on the French albums chart. She returned to the French charts with her next two LPs, Victorian American (2009) and Ode to Sentience (2011).
